Talk about: How does Henry’s view of himself compare with the reactions he encounters?
Henry’s experiences may prompt discussion of the difference between accepting who someone is and living in a society that does not. His sister also struggles to understand attraction to more than one gender.
The story includes detailed kissing and flirting, a brief undressing scene, frequent excessive drinking, tobacco and drug references, fights and peril, remembered beatings, and occasional strong language.
How does Henry’s understanding of himself differ from the way other people respond to his relationships, and what does that cost him?
If the topics may be difficult, read together or check in after passages involving remembered abuse, sexual situations or heavy drinking; the violence is reported without gore, but peril recurs.
