520    "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 institutionalized 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 heart-breaking, at 
       times triumphant, this memoir is a testament to love that 
       survives despite all odds."--Publisher's website.
