´If Holden Caulfield had been a gay girl from Montana, this is the story he might have told-it´s funny, heartbreaking, and beautifully rendered´ Curtis Sittenfeld, bestselling author of Prep and American Wife
´An important book - one that can change lives´ Jacqueline Woodson, award-winning author of Brown Girl Dreaming
----------
The night Cameron Post´s parents died, her first emotion was relief. Relief they would never know that hours earlier, she´d been kissing a girl.
Now living with her conservative Aunt in small-town Montana, hiding her sexuality and blending in becomes second nature to Cameron until she begins an intense friendship with the beautiful Coley Taylor.
Desperate to ´correct´ her niece, Cameron´s Aunt takes drastic action.
Now Cameron must battle with the cost of being her true-self even if she´s not completely sure who that is.
The Miseducation of Cameron Post is a stunning and unforgettable literary debut about discovering who you are and finding the courage to live life according to your own rules.

Praise for The Miseducation of Cameron Post:
´Danforth´s narrative of a bruised young woman finding her feet in a complicated world is a tremendous achievement: strikingly unsentimental, and full of characters who feel entirely rounded and real . . . An inspiring read´ Sarah Waters, author of Tipping the Velvet and Fingersmith
"Rich with detail and emotion, a sophisticated read for teens and adults alike." Kirkus starred review
´The story is riveting, beautiful, and full of the kind of detail that brings to life a place (rural Montana), a time (the early 1990s), and a questioning teenage girl´ Publishers Weekly starred review
A beautiful read for a long summer holiday, and a much needed portrayal of lives so seldom seen in YA Shiftworker Shift 20180214
