Conversaciones

"Conversaciones is a vital resource for Latino families. Each year we have far too many adolescents who commit suicide because they cannot discuss their sexual orientation... Tragedies like these can be prevented. This is a book that must be read by all who seek to foster healthy and loving families." —Antonio Villaraigosa, Speaker Emeritus of the California State Assembly

"Conversaciones is a useful and brave testimony, written in the unflagging words of love that only parents can express for their sons and daughters." —Cristina Saralegui, producer and host of the internationally renowned Spanish-language TV show, Cristina
