Introducing the new series: Ryn Reads “Guilt By Association”
Main | Chapter Two Those of you who follow me on Twitter may recall the time that I livetweeted my reading of Michael Farris’ debut novel, Anonymous Tip.

How many more dead kids?
Leelah Alcorn was 17 years old when she concluded that life was never going to get better for her. Before she reached the point that she ended her life, Leelah endured years of spiritual abuse from her parents and from Christian counselors.
