(3) YA With unflinching honesty, Schmidt recalls his 1970s–'80s childhood, in which loyalty to his abusive, single-parent, homosexual, and eventually HIV-positive father constantly conflicted with his urge to interact beyond his father's circle of "white trash rednecks in hippie clothing." Masterfully balancing his childhood perspective with his adult insight, Schmidt captures a universal struggle with family bonds and a crucial moment in AIDS history.
