Now a major motion pictureand starring Nicole Kidman, Russell Crowe, and Lucas Hedges, directed by Joel Edgerton. \"Every sentence of the story will stir your soul\" (O Magazine).The son of a Baptist pastor and deeply embedded in church life in small town Arkansas, as a young man Garrard Conley was terrified and conflicted about his sexuality. When Garrard was a nineteen-year-old college student, he was outed to his parents, and was forced to make a life-changing decision: either agree to attend a church-supported conversion therapy program that promised to \"cure\" him of homosexuality; or risk losing family, friends, and the God he had prayed to every day of his life. Through an institutionalized 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.By 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 heart-breaking, at times triumphant,and Boy Erasedand is a testament to love that survives despite all odds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garrard Conley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44213066924092,"sku":"9780008294908","price":845.75,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/7706\/7836\/files\/9780008294908.jpg?v=1776706183","url":"https:\/\/libertybooksstore.myshopify.com\/products\/boy-erased-movie-tie-in-a-memoir-of-identity-faith-and-family","provider":"LibertyBooksStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
