Book excerpt: People can become unhappy if they do not live their life in a way that is consistent with their true selves. This is the story of a gay teenager who grew up in a maelstrom of religious legalism, thinking that something was wrong with him. It's a narrative about lost hope and rekindled faith in the fulfillment of longing. It's a story that champions the outcasts and elevates the marginalized. It's about daring, courage, and facing up to seemingly overwhelming opposition, criticism, judgment, and the invalidation of one's own identity.
