Summary: We're Not Alone is a young adult novel that follows Mike and Susie through their adventures coming out in a suburban high school. Susie, a firebrand from the get-go, gets thrown out as President of the Girls' Athletic Association when she comes out as a lesbian. Mike, still unsure about his orientation, develops a crush on Scott, his best friend, who's in love with Melody. When Scott gets jumped by some anti-gay bullies, Mike is forced to take a stand. We' re Not Alone is an excellent, thought-provoking story that deals head-on with the struggles confronting both a young lesbian and a young gay man on their paths to self-acceptance. I strongly recommend this book for all youth, and particularly for lesbian, gay, and bisexual youth. It is well-written, engrossing and ultimately self-empowering. -Barbara Blinick, President, Bay Area Network of Gay and Lesbian Educators.
