Tell us what's wrong and we'll take a look.
Thanks – we got it. We'll review and follow up if needed.
This unique memoir in verse offers a series of snapshots about religion and sexuality. In verse because it's how Bell remembers: snapshots in words strung along a line, which somehow constitute a life. Snapshots of another time from now, but from a time which tells us about how Bell got here. Not the whole story, but her story.
