As work gets underway, the sisters start uncovering their family's history, and the dark secrets that are hidden at the Farm.

The Reason for this Book My Mother taught me early on how to be a survivor. My father was twice my mothers age and he died leaving her with seven children. We survived the depression by working our farm and growing our food. My brother Elbridge made our father a promise that he would look after us and he kept that promise. He became a father to us. When I was 32 I had a malignant melanoma on my right leg that took my leg and hip. The doctor said I wasnt going to make it. My pastor, family and friends went to the throne of God in prayer for me and they stayed there until I was healed. We were in a Methodist church in New Castle, Indiana and my pastor was Reverend Loran Rapp. To get to my class I had to pass by the senior class. They got hold of me and began to pray and help me by giving me books and material to read on prayer and positive thinking. There was a prayer band that covered the whole town of New Castle, Indiana. All the churches in town prayed for me. I learned early on to call on the old prayer warriors in my church. They know how to reach the throne of God. I had four little children when I lost my leg and there were times I thought I couldnt go on but I put my trust in the one who promised he would never leave me, and with His help I raised my children and now have eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Ive spent my life trying to help cancer patients and amputees by prayer and visits. I pray that this book will help others to cope with their illness and to never give up hope.

This groundbreaking new book weaves personal portraits of lesbian and gay Southerners with interdisciplinary commentary about the impact of culture, race, and gender on the development of sexual identity. Growing Up Gay in the South is an important book that focuses on the distinct features of Southern life. It will enrich your understanding of the unique pressures faced by gay men and lesbians in this region--the pervasiveness of fundamental religious beliefs; the acceptance of racial, gender, and class community boundaries; the importance of family name and family honor; the unbending view of appropriate childhood behaviors; and the intensity of adolescent culture. You will learn what it is like to grow up gay in the South as these Southern lesbians and gay men candidly share their attitudes and feelings about themselves, their families, their schooling, and their search for a sexual identity. These insightful biographies illustrate the diversity of persons who identify themselves as gay or lesbian and depict the range of prejudice and problems they have encountered as sexual rebels. Not just a simple compilation of “coming out” stories, this landmark volume is a human testament to the process of social questioning in the search for psychological wholeness, examining the personal and social significance of acquiring a lesbian or gay identity within the Southern culture. Growing Up Gay in the South combines intriguing personal biographies with the extensive use of scholarship from lesbian and gay studies, Southern history and literature, and educational thought and practice. These features, together with an extensive bibliography and appendices of data, make this essential reading for educators and other professionals working with gay and lesbian youth.
