Description

Garrard Conley's powerful memoir chronicles his journey from the suffocating confines of a fundamentalist upbringing to the liberating embrace of self-acceptance. When his parents discover his homosexuality, they send him to a controversial conversion therapy program, forcing him to confront deeply ingrained beliefs about faith, family, and identity. Through raw honesty and unflinching introspection, Conley navigates the treacherous terrain of societal expectations and personal truth, ultimately forging a path toward authenticity. This is a profound exploration of love, forgiveness, and the courage it takes to live a life true to oneself.
