"When Angeline Jackson was a child, she wondered if there was something wrong with her for wanting to kiss the other girls. But as her sexuality blossomed in her teens, she knew she wouldn't 'grow out of it' and that her attraction to girls wasn't against God. ... Angeline's story begins with her traumatic experience of 'corrective rape' when she is lured by an online predator, then traces her childhood through her sexual and spiritual awakening as a teen: falling in love, breaking up, coming out, and then being forced into conversion therapy. Sometimes dark, always threadbare and honest, Funny Gyal chronicles how Angeline's faith deepens as a teenager, despite her parents' conservative values and the strict Christian Jamaican society in which she lives"-- Provided by publisher.
