The Stranger Next Door

The Story of a Small Community's Battle Over Sex, Faith, and Civil Rights; Or, How the Right Divides Us

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A small town believes they are "under siege from homosexuals" as animosity begins to tear it apart. Author Stein writes as both a community insider and outsider, drawing upon personal observation, media analysis and interviews with 50 of the town's residents to sympathetically and critically reveal how both sides, and those caught in the middle, responded to this culture war.
