Catherine & Sarah talk to Danny Freeman, fundamentalist Christian minister turned LGBTQ Young Adult novelist
4 JUL 2022 · Danny Freeman originally thought he wanted to be a fundamentalist Christian minister. After realizing that ministry wasn't his calling, he spent about 15 years in public education – first as a teacher and then as an administrator.
During the pandemic, Danny turned to writing and completed his first novel, The You I which debuts on July 12, 2022.
The You I See is a big-hearted, humorous novel that functions as both a sweet 'coming-of-age, coming-out' tale and an unapologetic affirmation of queer identity which traces the sexual awakening of two gay teens as they mature through adolescence. Set against the backdrop of a fundamentalist Christian context and the changing cultural landscape of Houston in the early 1990s, The You I See weaves together faith, politics, shifting social attitudes, the journey to self-acceptance, and the importance of LGBTQ+ allies like few other young adult novels.
