Truth and Consequences: Teens Navigating Queer Identity & Accountability

12:00 PM - 12:45 PM

Sunday, November 15

YA HQ Tent

Join Camryn Garrett and Adib Khorram for a discussion of their latest novels, exploring self-discovery and the weight of hidden truths. In In Between Days, Garrett follows seventeen-year-old Mira as she uncovers her late father’s secret history, embraces her own queerness, and learns what it means to build a chosen family. In One Word, Six Letters, Khorram tells the story of two very different high school freshmen who must deal with the destructive ripple effects of a shouted slur, navigating complicated paths towards self-acceptance, healing, and taking responsibility for one’s actions.
