In partnership with Browseabout Books and Lewes Public Library, CAMP Rehoboth presents a special book signing and visit with Chasten Buttigieg on October 21 at 6:00 p.m. Chasten will be promoting his book I Have Something to Tell You-For Young Adults: A Memoir. The event will be hosted at the Lewes Public Library, and options will be available to attend in person or via Zoom.
About the Event
Join us in the Lewes Public Library or online for a conversation with Chasten Buttigieg on the young adult version of his instant New York Times bestseller, I Have Something to Tell You. This is the young adult adaptation of the hopeful and refreshingly candid bestselling memoir by the husband of a former Democratic presidential candidate about growing up gay in his small Midwestern town. Completely rewritten with new stories, it includes resources for readers, parents, and teachers.
Growing up, Chasten Glezman Buttigieg didn’t always fit in. He felt different from his father and brothers, and out of place in the rural, conservative small town where he lived. Back then, blending in was more important than feeling seen. When Chasten realized he was gay, he kept that part of himself hidden away for a long, painful time. With incredible bravery, and the support of his loved ones, Chasten eventually came out — and when he did, he learned being true to himself was the most rewarding journey of all. Finding acceptance and self-love can seem like a tremendous challenge, but it’s never impossible. With honesty, courage, and warmth, Chasten relays his experience of growing up in America and embracing his identity, while inspiring young people across the country to do the same.
Chasten Glezman Buttigieg grew up in Traverse City, Michigan. He is a teacher, advocate, and husband of former presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg. Chasten currently lives with Pete; their two children, Gus and Penelope; and their rescue dog, Buddy, in Northern Michigan.
