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. 000845232 60010 $$aConley, Garrard. 000845232 650_0 $$aGays$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 000845232 650_0 $$aSexual reorientation programs$$zUnited States. 000845232 650_0 $$aEx-gay movement$$zUnited States. 000845232 650_0 $$aGays$$xIdentity. 000845232 650_0 $$aGay men$$zUnited States. 000845232 655_7 $$aAutobiographies.$$2lcgft 000845232 85200 $$bgen$$hHQ75.8.C665$$iA3$$i2017 000845232 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:845232$$pGLOBAL_SET 000845232 980__ $$aBIB 000845232 980__ $$aBOOK
