In this deeply personal memoir, Sally traces the experiences, conversations, and scriptural readings that culminated in her seeing her sexuality as something that made sense within the context of her faith—not outside of it or in opposition to it. Along the way, she shares a journey of loneliness, futile attempts to change her sexual orientation, and the fear of intimacy that followed a lifetime of believing same-sex relationships are sinful, before finally embracing a love of her own.
Sally’s story—one of heritage, learning, courage, and love-—is written especially for the generations of LGBTQ Christians after her who are questioning whether they can stay part of the church they call home. It’s a resounding reminder that, just like Sally’s own heart, things can change, and sometimes, when we earnestly search for the truth, we find it in the most unexpected places.
