There is so much to learn learn and think about thanks to this book. It seems an ever growing number of patients are struggling with recovering not only from addiction, but the confusion and pain they experienced as part of learning who they are, and how to express that in their world. While we all go through this to some degree, it is frightening to think about having to come to terms with what so many in the world condemn out of hand - being homosexual. I think this book will provide help not only to gay folks, but also to those involved in helping them through their struggle. ( )
