It helps me to think about what this book did for Carson McCullers... She knew some tremendous loneliness herself... Writing this book helped her keep going.
Jo’s junior year is turned upside down when she is the target of gay bashing. Assigned to read The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, Jo uses Carson McCullers’ classic story to move beyond despair into a world of possibility. fml: how Carson McCullers saved my life is a play about surviving high school and the transformative power of literature.
