"In this emotional and unflinchingly honest memoir of coming out of the closet late in life, owning up to the past, and facing the future, William Dameron confronts steroid addiction, the shame and homophobia of his childhood, the sledgehammer of secrets that slowly tore his marriage apart, and his love for a gay father of three that would once again challenge the boundaries of trust. At the true heart of The Lie is a universal story about turning self-doubt into self-acceptance and about pain, anger, and the long journey of both seeking and giving forgiveness."… (more)

Took me FOREVER to finish this book! Don't you hate when life gets in the way of things that are most important to you. Loved this book!! Not a fan of books that make me cry and this book made me cry TWICE. Might have to look into other books I've passed up in lieu of a stuffy nose. If you haven't come out yet or know someone who hasn't, read or recommend this book. If you have come out and are having difficulties adjusting especially when you have children, read this book. ( )

I love a book that touches my heart. This book did that and more.

I will just say this... This book had me feeling all the emotions. Sad, because of how this man did not love himself, happy, because he found himself and because of that was able to find true happiness. Angry, because of how he was treated which led him to not only lie to himself ,but to those whom he loved. Hopeful, because in this story...this true story... there is redemption.

I received this book in a giveaway on Goodreads, and I am grateful for the opportunity I had to read about this man's life. ( )
