‘The compelling stories in this book are funny, uplifting and at times poignant and sad, but always honest. I learned such a lot.’ – Lorraine Kelly

‘A beautifully heartfelt and poignant collection of wisdom, wit, and reflection.’ – William Hanson, author of Just Good Manners

If you could write a letter to your younger queer self, what would you say? What advice would you share? And what would you have really wanted, or needed, to hear?

Each letter is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and a powerful reminder that love transcends all.
