"A queer, black teenager finds herself stranded in a dangerous and unfamiliar place: an all-white Christian youth backpacking camp"--Amazon.com.
"Charlie Lamonte is thirteen years old, queer, black, and questioning what was once a firm belief in God. So naturally, she's spending a week of her summer vacation stuck at an all-white Christian youth backpacking camp. As the journey wears on and the rhetoric wears thin, she can't help but poke holes in the pious obliviousness of this storied sanctuary with little regard for people like herself -- or her fellow camper Sydney." -- Publisher's description

abrupt ending submitted by camelsamba on June 25, 2019, 10:09pm The story ends abruptly and unresolved. I spent the entire trip wondering about those dorky baubles on Charlie's boots, but I really like the color palette and the landscapes.

[Note: the story began and continues online at Gillman's website. Indeed, it picks up here: http://www.melaniegillman.com/?p=690 but only goes on for about 20 more spreads and hasn't been updated since June 2017. But read Pockets (http://www.melaniegillman.com/?page_id=775) as back story for Sydney and her camp wardrobe.]
