what readers say

“The people so often discussed in generic, cold soundbites are far more multifaceted and beautiful than that. I wish for them (and this book) to be seen by as many people as possible.”
SASCHA SPIJKER, AMSTERDAM
“Ernst has a gift for capturing his subjects as their most beautiful selves. That quality, combined with the book’s polished presentation, makes this so much more than just a collection of often heartbreaking stories; it is an impressive monument to resilience.”
JAY L., NEW YORK
“Buy this book as a gift for yourself and (here’s a tip) for anyone who has ever wondered if they truly belong.”
J. STEVENS, ZURICH
“This book reminds me that every step forward in LGBTQ+ rights was built on personal courage, and that the struggle might never truly be over. […] Every few days, I find myself wanting to read the next story, yet I often need some time before I feel ready to pick up the book again.”
EDGAR RAEN, BRUSSELS
