Chastity Bono

A self-help book for parents and teens-to-early-twenties on coming out. Chastity Bono (daughter of Cher and Sonny) interweaves the story of her own experience with her parents with those of many others, offering practical advice on seeing yourself as normal (parents and kids alike). This is a frank account of her own and others' rites of passage, and a clear case for the acknowledgement being a form of empowerment for herself and others, parent and child.

What distinguishes this widely praised book from other coming-out guides is its focus on family. Drawing on her own experience coming out to her celebrity parents, Cher and Sonny Bono, as well as on the experiences of many other young people throughout the country, Chastity Bono describes the challenges and rewards of coming out -- for gays, lesbians, and their families.

From Chastity Bono, daughter of Sonny & Cher, heroine of the gay community: the first comprehensive guide to the coming-out process from the perspective of both gays & lesbians & their parents.
