S. Lewis once observed, "Of all the tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive". This book is a deeply moving coming of age story about a young woman struggling to understand and accept herself and her family's inability to allow her to do so. Cameron takes us on her hero's journey of sorts as she tells us about her life and struggles as a young lesbian woman living in rural Montana in the early 1990's. To her credit Ms Danforth does not cast the Christians in this story as mean cold-hearted bigots seeking to destroy gay people (although sadly, there is no shortage of such people in the world). Instead she presents them as people who genuinely care about Cameron and who operate from a sincere belief that they are working for her own good and that of her fellow "disciples" at Promise. She also illustrates the disastrous and harmful outcomes than can result from trying to force people to be who they are not. This is a book I wish many Christians so immovably opposed to accepting LGBTQ people as being who we are rather than some confused souls who are trapped in sin or "rebellion" against god, and that by choice. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The night Cam kisses her best friend for the first time *by E***. on Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2017* READ THIS BOOK. I don't really know what to say about this book, except that I did not go into it with high hopes but I had a hard time putting it down and read it in a matter of hours.From the booklist review, anyone reading this should know at least the major plot points, but I apologize in advance if this review contains any spoilers.The book starts off with a punch to the gut, and immediately drags you into the rich and compelling story of Cameron Post. The night Cam kisses her best friend for the first time, her parents are killed in an accident. Understandably, Cam links those two events in her mind and is wracked with guilt and shame over her attraction to other girls, and tries to suppress it, but she can't. When she and her best friend fall in love, they are able to keep their relationship a secret until being discovered by the best friend's brother. Cam's Aunt Ruth then ships her off to a religious conversion camp to "pray away the gay".Cam's story is one of love, loss, confusion, religion, and healing, all bundled together. Danforth has a compelling way of weaving words that draws you in and creates an impact on the reader. The realities of growing up LGBT in a strict religious family are well fleshed out in the novel, through Cam's relationship with Aunt Ruth and the leaders and counselors at the conversion camp Promise, as well as in Cam's own internal struggle between what her fundamentalist religious community tells her and what she knows to be true. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Devastatingly perfect *by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2017* This was an unbelievably good book. Engaging me as few others have in years, I have a new title to add to my list of most influential YA books.Intersectional, nuanced, realistic, poetic, crisp, and beautifully written, this book has it all. I have too many feelings to criticise it right now, though a hint of Cameron 's future would have been nice. I guess maybe the author could have been harsher on the evangelicals, but the book has a focus on compassion.Wise and pure and wonderful, this is perfect for anyone trying to understand queer people or teenagers, or even just find something good in life or themselves. It also beats the daylights out of John Green's work. There are no cheap jokes or held punches here: just art, truth, and beauty. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/72900981-the-miseducation-of-cameron-post](https://www.desertcart.be/products/72900981-the-miseducation-of-cameron-post) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-08-05*
