Description

What do you do when the American Dream was never meant for people like you?

On the day the Supreme Court legalized her marriage, Rev. Dr. Angela Yarber and her queer family did something radical: they sold everything, bought a camper named Freya, and spent two years wandering the American landscape, searching for a dream that actually fits.

This isn't your typical road trip memoir.

Queering the American Dream is a raw, defiant reckoning with faith, family, and freedom. As Yarber follows in the footsteps of revolutionary women from history and myth, she confronts:

The death of institutional religion and what rises in its place
Addiction, grief, and survival on the margins
Parenting while queer in an America that refuses to see you
What liberation actually looks like when you stop waiting for permission

For anyone who's been told they don't belong-in church, in their family, in America itself-this book is your roadmap to creating something better.

With unflinching honesty, dark humor, and visionary imagination, Yarber doesn't just critique the American Dream. She builds a new one-not for the privileged few, but for all of us living on the outside.
