Synopsis
In this heartfelt and inspiring memoir, Lou Anne Smoot recounts what it was like to be a gay woman living a life of pretense in the conservative South. Her story is a personal journey through history, spanning the decades from 1953 to 2015, when Lou Anne, like many others, followed cultural, familial, and religious expectations in an attempt to keep her true self hidden and safe. Her struggle to find acceptance within herself and in the world, while reconciling her Baptist faith with her identity, takes her into the depths of a depression she fears she will never escape. However, it is amidst this darkness that Lou Anne discovers unexpected friendship, understanding, and true love. By coming out at 60 years old, Lou Anne’s story proves that it’s never too late to start living a life that’s true to you.
