Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
In a market overflowing with self-serving, quasi-religious memoirs, first-time author Unthank contributes a singularly refreshing change. She traces her slow and painful progress from a judging, homophobic, and ultimately self-destructive Christian faith?which she calls an experience of "spiritual rape"?to a humbler and more accepting spirituality: "God says God is love and that love never fails. So, love wins." Unthank, with her engaging style and her faithful dog, deserves a broad readership.

Arthur S. Meyers, ALA 1999 Nonfiction Book Award Nomination, October, 1999
A unique, nonfiction work for adults and serious young-adult readers on several levels: *It is a compelling account of a journey into self and towards the other. *It will be of interest to readers who seek a faith-based life. *It can also connect us (no matter our sexual orientation)to the other, who happens to be gay or lesbian. *It is immensely valuable to a faith-based person who is struggling with her or his sexual identity. *On each of these levels it can be read and then re-read. I dream . . .that Unthank's story will be read widely by many people, and that it will come especially to religious and lay leaders, particularly those who inflict the violence.
