What is Prayers for Bobby: a mother's coming to terms with the suicide of her gay son about?

<p><P>Bobby Griffith was an all-American boy ...and he was gay. Faced with an irresolvable conflict-for both his family and his religion taught him that being gay was wrong-Bobby chose to take his own life. <P><i>Prayers for Bobby</i>, nominated for a 1996 Lambda Literary Award, is the story of the emotional journey that led Bobby to this tragic conclusion. But it is also the story of Bobby's mother, a fearful churchgoer who first prayed that her son would be healed, then anguished over his suicide, and ultimately transformed herself into a national crusader for gay and lesbian youth. <P>As told through Bobby's poignant journal entries and his mother's reminiscences, <i>Prayers for Bobby</i> is at once a moving personal story, a true profile in courage, and a call to arms to parents everywhere.</p> <h3>Library Journal</h3> <p>Mary Griffith prayed that her gay son Bobby would be healed. After his suicide, her anguish led her on a journey from faithful churchgoer to national crusader for gay and lesbian youth. (LJ 5/15/95)</p>
