Abstract
In the personal essay Without a Word, Zelda Lockhart describes her journey to discovering her sexuality and finding peace, happiness, self-love, and new relationships despite the troubles she faced along the way, including an abusive childhood, rejection from the first girl she loved, her beloved gay brother's death from AIDS, and estrangement from her family (especially her mother) due to her own sexuality.
