Through an institutionalised Twelve-Step Program heavy on Bible study, he was supposed to emerge heterosexual, ex-gay, cleansed of impure urges and stronger in his faith in God for his brush with sin. Instead, even when faced with a harrowing and brutal journey, Garrard found the strength and understanding to break out in search of his true self and forgiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBy confronting his buried past and the burden of a life lived in shadow, Garrard traces the complex relationships among family, faith, and community. At times heartbreaking, at times triumphant, this memoir is a testament to love that survives despite all odds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WILLIAM COLLINS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51085472628983,"sku":"9780008294908","price":313.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0944\/3973\/5543\/files\/25868983482190.jpg?v=1788093924","url":"https:\/\/www.2027textbooks.co.za\/products\/boy-erased-fti-pb-9780008294908","provider":"2027Textbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
