A deeply intimate, grief-stricken portrait of a mother's journey from religious rejection to acceptance, framed by the tragedy of her son's suicide.
Bobby Griffith was his mother's favorite son, the perfect all-American boy growing up under deeply religious influences in Walnut Creek, California. Bobby was also gay. Struggling with a conflict no one knew of, much less understood, Bobby finally came out to his family.
