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. 541 $d 20170828. 600 10 $a Conley, Garrard. 650 0 $a Ex-gay movement $z United States. 650 1 $a Gays $z United States $v Biography. 650 1 $a Gays $x Identity. 650 0 $a Sexual reorientation programs $z United States. 650 07 $a Gay men $z United States. 941 $a 14 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240202021948.0 952 $l WCPC115 $d 20230629023041.0 952 $l GCPC771 $d 20230125011940.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20211215014615.0 952 $l LGPB975 $d 20210918011735.0 952 $l TZPC572 $d 20201017014233.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20200806014826.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20181005010901.0 952 $l S2PA501 $d 20180924175014.0 952 $l EBPE325 $d 20180728013740.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20180302010522.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20180227012719.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20180126073150.0 952 $l VTPD454 $d 20171018024003.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=719097F4B3CA11E7A4A7F53E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
