Bobby Griffith was his mother's favorite son, the perfect all-American boy growing up under deeply religious influences in Walnut Creek, California. Bobby was also gay. Struggling with a conflict no one knew of, much less understood, Bobby finally came out to his family.
Can a mother's unwavering devotion survive the collision of religious dogma and her son's true identity? This heartbreaking portrait examines the devastating rift created when fundamentalist faith meets a child's need for acceptance.
