520    "Daniel Allen Cox grew up with firm lines around what his 
       religion considered unacceptable. Their opposition to 
       blood transfusions would have consequences for his mother,
       just as their stance on homosexuality would for him. But 
       even years after whispers of his sexual orientation 
       reached his congregation's presiding elder, catalyzing his
       disassociation, the distinction between "in" and "out" 
       isn't always clear. Still in the midst of a lifelong 
       disentanglement, Cox grapples with the group's cultish 
       tactics--from gaslighting to shunning--and their resulting
       harms--from simmering anger to substance abuse--all while 
       redefining its concepts through a queer lens. Can Paradise
       be a bathhouse, a concert hall, or a room full of books?"-
