Join us as we welcome author Marpheen Chann for a virtual discussion of his recent memoir, Moon in Full: A Modern-Day Coming-of-Age Story. In this telling, Chann shines a light on his search for truth and compassion growing up in working-class Maine. Adopted into a majority white community, Chann must reconcile his fears and secret longings as a young gay man with the devoutly religious beliefs of his new family.
