An Immovable Object

by Terry Bug Lilly

A compelling and emotional look into the life of a man trying to reconcile the conflicts he faced growing up gay in an evangelical Christian household that had forced him into solitude and silence in order to bury the issues he had no choice but to conceal. Grief, addiction, success, relationships, abandonment, tragedy, and other experiences are all navigated with a sense of humor in a multi-layered narrative that explores and challenges important truths about the human experience.

"I was torn between two paths; each mutually exclusive of the other, each demanding a sacrifice I couldn't make, but each holding keys to necessary sustenance for my survival. Being unwilling to move definitively in either direction, I did my best to stay motionless in the center."

A beautiful telling of a man's journey through pain and healing. I felt as if I were with him through every obstacle and success. A must-read for anyone who has ever felt unsafe to be who they really are. I found the emotional depth and vulnerability awe-inspiring and comforting.
