Reseña del editor:

Just how far will a gay man go to be straight?

For Brian Kraemer, that journey included thirteen years of celibacy, daily prayer, extensive reading, participation in an ex-gay ministry, and two exorcisms. He still hadn't reached his goal when he met a man he believed to be the therapist of his dreams-a married, Christian therapist with an innovative method of healing.

Through what he called "spiritual adoption," the therapist began a reparenting experiment in which Brian's therapy included spending time with his therapist in his home and meeting his wife and biological children, as well as other "spiritually adopted" clients. Brian and his therapist shared a bed, showered together, and spent extensive amounts of time holding, cuddling, and caressing.

In his memoir, Brian Anthony Kraemer shares the details of his developing relationship with a Christian male therapist in his attempt to change from homosexual to heterosexual. Though the goal was to go straight, this relationship ultimately led to Brian's acceptance of himself as a gay man-and the therapist's loss of his license.
