The cover made me think it was a graphic novel, but it’s an illustrated novel about Stacey’s personal story of discovering she “liked girls,” the tension and pain that caused with her conservative Christian upbringing, beliefs, and parents, and her fifteen year journey to try to become “ex-gay” before (spoiler alert) experiencing a divine moment of acceptance that helped her to accept her sexuality and her relationship with the woman who would become her wife. This book is vulnerable, brutal, unflinchingly honest, and beautiful, especially as Stacey shares snippets from her anguished prayer journal entries throughout her decade and a half of wrestling with her sexuality and begging God to change her. It feels like a privilege to have this kind of access to someone’s heart in this way.
