About this title

Review:

Marvelous, courageous, and, above all, thoughtful.
"The Washington Post"
A subtly rendered and remarkably even-handed journey toward redemption.
"The Philadelphia Inquirer"
A beautiful book...Fully human, unsettling, and wise.
Tony Kushner
[One of] the best LGBT books of all time...A haunting memoir of abuse and redemption.
Benoit Denizet-Lewis, The Good Men Project
Martin Moran not only writes unflinchingly about the sexual abuse of a child; he expands it into a meditation on suffering, despair, forgiveness, redemption, and the mysterious workings of grace. He elevates the confessional to the level of art.
Michael Cunningham, author of "The Hours""
