IT GETS BETTER Coming Out, Overcoming Bullying, and Creating a Life Worth Living

Narrators Paul Garcia and Marguerite Gavin emotionally connect with listeners as they deliver this impassioned rallying cry for understanding LGBT children and teens. Both narrators handle horrific stories of bullying so relentless it led to suicides with quiet dignity and heartfelt sorrow that never cross into the maudlin. But the lion’s share of this book consists of triumphant accounts of survivors who went on to accomplish their dreams and discover that the very thing that made them different defined their success. Garcia employs a wry humor that helps lighten the mood, and Gavin’s vocal sweetness invites empathy. Both narrators make this an outstanding listening experience.
