About this product
Product Information
When Alex Cooper was fifteen years old, life was pretty ordinary in her sleepy suburban town and nice Mormon family. At church and at home, Alex was taught that God had a plan for everyone. But something was gnawing at her that made her feel different. These feelings exploded when she met Yvette, a girl who made Alex feel alive in a new way, and with whom Alex would quickly fall in love. Alex knew she was holding a secret that could shatter her family, her church community, and her life. Yet when this secret couldn't be hidden any longer, she told her parents that she was gay, and the nightmare began. She was driven from her home in Southern California to Utah, where, against her will, her parents handed her over to fellow Mormons who promised to save Alex from her homosexuality. For eight harrowing months, Alex was held captive in an unlicensed residential treatment program modeled on the many therapeutic boot camps scattered across Utah. Alex was physically and verbally abused, and many days she was forced to stand facing a wall wearing a heavy backpack full of rocks. Her captors used faith to punish and terrorize her. With the help of a dedicated legal team in Salt Lake City, Alex eventually escaped and made legal history in Utah by winning the right to live under the law's protection as an openly gay teenager. Alex is not alone; the headlines continue to splash stories about gay conversion therapy and rehabilitation centers that promise to save teenagers from their sexuality. Saving Alex is a courageous memoir that tells Alex's story in the hopes that it will bring awareness and justice to this important issue. A bold, inspiring story of one girl's fight for freedom, acceptance, and truth.

- e***e (104)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseGood postage well packed as described good value good seller and great communication well back for more
- a***b (79)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseCommunication was good and the book was dispatched promptly arriving on one of the two days indicated in the estimated delivery (not sure which one). It had rained heavily for some of the time that the book was in our letter box and the paperback book mailing envelope was a little damp so I was worried that the book would be wet. However, the inside of the envelope was lined with a thin film of plastic and so the book was completely dry. Thank you for taking that extra care with the packaging.
- e***3 (336)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe item arrived well on time, with the padded satchel the magazines were posted in being nicely taped to conform with the shape of the contents, so preventing any unnecessary jogging in transit, and minimising the chance of any damage, such as covers becoming detached. Nothing suffered any damage in transit, and all was perfectly as described. Excellent!
