Now a major motion picture starring Nicole Kidman, Russell Crowe, and Lucas Hedges, directed by Joel Edgerton. "Every sentence of the story will stir your soul" (O Magazine). 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. 538 Requires OverDrive Listen (file size: N/A KB) or OverDrive app (file size: 231520 KB). 600 10 Conley, Garrard|vSound recordings. 650 0 Gays|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 Conversion therapy|zUnited States|vSound recordings. 650 0 Ex-gay movement|zUnited States|vSound recordings. 650 0 Gays|xIdentity|vSound recordings. 650 0 Gay men|zUnited States|vSound recordings. 655 7 Autobiographies.|2lcgft 655 7 Electronic audiobooks.|2local 700 1 Crouch, Michael. 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.overdrive.com/media/2355884 |zAvailable on OverDrive/Libby 856 42 |3Excerpt|uhttps://samples.overdrive.com/?crid=b0290cc6- db80-4d22-97e0-54503ea7f34d&.epub-sample.overdrive.com |zSample 856 42 |3Image|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/1191-1/ %7BB0290CC6-DB80-4D22-97E0-54503EA7F34D%7DImg100.jpg |zLarge cover image 856 42 |3Thumbnail|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/1191-1/ %7BB0290CC6-DB80-4D22-97E0-54503EA7F34D%7DImg200.jpg |zThumbnail cover image
