Ride, Sally, Ride

A memoir of a woman's 1980s journey from a conservative Christian upbringing through a radical feminist awakening, culminating in a 1990s relationship with a gay man and a subsequent marriage to a Christian man. The book's central arc is a personal transformation through faith, sexuality, and gender identity, so memoir and biography fit; the inclusion of a gay male love interest and the author's own queer-adjacent history makes lgbtq+ relevant. Moods reflect the book's frank, confessional tone about sex, faith, and identity crisis (reflective, thought-provoking) and its ultimately hopeful resolution (hopeful). No violence or graphic content warrants a content warning beyond the general frankness of the memoir's subject matter.
