![]() ![]() Orphaned at 12, Cameron navigates grief, puberty, and her attraction to women while living with her conservative, but well-meaning, aunt. Set in the 1990s, the story centers around Cameron Post. Her love of Miles City, Montana (Danforth’s hometown) is apparent throughout and lends to a finely painted depiction of life in the West. More coming-of-age than coming out, Danforth captures the struggle of growing up gay in small-town America without damning the town in which it takes place. The group unanimously rated The Miseducation of Cameron Post a near-perfect read. It was also the first book our group ever read together (a choice I made hoping a genuinely good book would encourage returning members). This is one of my all time favorite books. ![]() ![]() The Miseducation of Cameron Post by Emily Danforth ![]()
