NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING LUCAS HEDGES, RUSSELL CROWE AND
NICOLE KIDMAN, AND WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY JOEL EDGERTON 'A
necessary, beautiful book' Garth Greenwell, author of What Belongs
to You 'A brilliant memoir' Guardian The son of a Baptist pastor
and deeply embedded in church life in small town Arkansas, as a
young man Garrard Conley was terrified and conflicted about his
sexuality. When Garrard was a nineteen-year-old college student, he
was outed to his parents, and was 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. Through an institutionalised Twelve-Step Program heavy
on Bible study, he was supposed to emerge heterosexual, ex-gay,
cleansed of impure urges and stronger in his faith in God for his
brush with sin. Instead, even when faced with a harrowing and
brutal journey, Garrard found the strength and understanding to
break out in search of his true self and forgiveness. By
confronting his buried past and the burden of a life lived in
shadow, Garrard traces the complex relationships among family,
faith, and community. At times heartbreaking, at times triumphant,
this memoir is a testament to love that survives despite all odds.
