Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just open your current read to a random page and share a few sentences. Be careful not to include spoilers!
A Queer and Pleasant Danger: the true story of a nice Jewish boy who joins the Church of Scientology and leaves twelve years later to become the lovely lady she is today. And that lengthy title-and-subtitle is the tamest part of the whole book.
Today’s teaser:
“Paul, Mildred, I have news for you. Albert is an artist.”
My mother gasped. My father muttered, “Oh, crap.”
I was thrilled with the diagnosis.
That, of course, was just the beginning for Albert and his parents Paul and Mildred. This is a wild, outrageous book, and I highly recommend it, but it may not be for the faint of heart.
This quotation comes from an uncorrected advance proof and is subject to change.

P.S. Although I live in the Pacific Northwest now, I’m a native Texan too.
Hi Sandy!
