Danielle knew she was different from the time she was eleven. Her family knew she was a lesbian and rejected her before Danielle even knew what a lesbian was. When Danielle confides in her social worker about a violent experience at the hands of the 32-year-old daughter of her foster parents, she is met with skepticism, forcing her into silence. Alone, she quietly began to understand her identity as a lesbian until, finally, she received much-needed support and affirmation.

Thank you, Danielle
A well-told story with lots of feeling and warmth. You must be a good counselor to the teens. --Fred Mindlin Digital Storyteller http://www.thedigitalstoryteller.com/
