The Miseducation of Cameron Post is a powerful coming-of-age novel by Emily M. Danforth that follows Cameron Post, a teenage girl growing up in rural Montana in the early 1990s. After she is caught with another girl on prom night, Cameron’s conservative aunt sends her to God’s Promise, a conversion therapy center meant to “cure” her of her homosexuality. Inside the facility, Cameron navigates a world of guilt-inducing sermons, strict rules, and earnest but damaging attempts to change her identity. Alongside a group of fellow teens resisting the program’s ideology, she must reconcile her faith, her desires, and her sense of self. The novel is a sharp critique of conversion therapy and a tender exploration of queer resilience, friendship, and survival. The Miseducation of Cameron Post
