jonscott9 's review for:
Mel White has quite the life story: A former ghost writer for the likes of Jerry Falwell and other conservative Christian honchos, he was married with two children and then came out as a gay man when in his 40s. This account starts with his childhood (as it should) and works up from there to his activism in the present. He is a good writer, but unfortunately this memoir sometimes gets bogged down in self-involvement. He really didn't need to delineate all of his relational-sexual exploits for the reader to understand that his marriage was in peril and his mind was a mess. Written in 1993, his info seems dated sometimes, but the personal stories are heartrending. Here's hoping that his story has at least catalyzed conversations among family, friends, and fellow churchgoers across the nation. The subject matter is so often under rug swept.
