“As a young man, Garrard Conley was terrified and conflicted about his sexuality, growing up the son of a Baptist pastor and deeply embedded in church life in small town, Arkansas. When Girard was 19, he was added to his parents, and forced to make a life-changing decision: either agree to attend a church-supported conversion therapy program that promised to “cure him” of homosexuality; or risk, losing family, friends, and the God he had prayed to every day of his life. At times, heartbreaking, at times triumphant, this memoir is a testament to love -of family, faith, and community that survive -despite all odds. “ This book is in excellent paperback condition, no signs of excessive wear.
