"An exciting story about activism that will inspire all readers."
A Julia Eccleshare Pick of the Month March 2024
When Jesse reads her aunt’s diary she discovers that they would have had a lot in common. Jesse has just come out as non-binary and is struggling with the perceptions of others when she discovers that her aunt Lisa, who was a teenager in the 1980s, fell in love with her best-friend and became involved in the fight against the introduction of draconian LGBTQ+ legislation that was being passed into law at the time.
Through reading the diaries Jesse finds herself drawn to her aunt and shocked by the reactions of a previous generation. Seeing her story through the eyes of another member of her family and through the lens of history helps Jesse to be bolder in her own fight to gain understanding from her teachers and peers.
The Fights that Make Us holds important truths within the framework of an exciting story about activism that will inspire all readers.
