Product Description
That's the question Shevy asks herself when June comes around and all that she believed she knew is turned upside down.
"The Shameful Secret of Pride Month" follows 14-year-old Shevy, who thinks her life is as complicated as it can get.
She's already juggling the secrets of her two queer aunts, Celia and Maddie, whose lives go against the beliefs of her Orthodox Jewish community. Although Shevy loves them deeply, she feels the heavy burden of hiding their existence to avoid the community's harsh judgment.
When June arrives, everything spirals out of control after her aunts invite the family to the Pride Parade-a gesture that triggers an unexpected crisis because it conflicts with everything her community stands for. Shevy's mother is torn between the desire to support Celia and Maddie and the fear of severe backlash from their religious community.
The situation intensifies when Shevy uncovers another hidden family secret. With everything on the line, Shevy and her family must decide whether to confront their fears and stand up for their beliefs or retreat to avoid community backlash. This situation pushes them to reevaluate their values and see if love and loyalty can coexist with their traditional beliefs.
