Beschreibung

Soon to be a major motion picture adapted and directed by Joel Edgerton, Garrard Conley's memoir documents experiences as a young gay man in Baptist Arkansas, attending a church-supported conversion program and yet still maintaining a sense of true self through this traumatic experience, drawing on reserves of strength and love powerful enough to withstand it.
