5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive, insightful and informative, 27 Aug 1998

By A Customer

I have recently felt it was the right time to come out to my parents. After reading many enlightening books on homosexuality (among them: John Spong's "Living in Sin?," Mel White's "Stranger At the Gate," Daniel Helminiak's "What the Bible Really Says About Homosexuality," and Bruce Bawer's "A Place At the Table"), Borhek's book was the first one that truly let me enter the minds and thoughts of my parents. Herself being the parent of a gay son, Borhek gave me an idea of how my own parents would react once I came out to them. The book also successfully relates the difficult and often very painful experience of growing up in a Christian home and (seemingly at odds with that faith) recognizing one's innate homosexuality (in my case, realizing that I am a gay man). I have already purchased a second copy of the book to give to my parents, and I am now hopeful that this "two-way survival guide" will be a helpful part of what enables them to understand and accept this integral, important part of who I am.

5.0 out of 5 stars extremely helpful book, 17 April 1998

By A Customer

For the purposes of weathering coming out this is a good guide. Decodes lots of parental feelings I didnt understand. Buy two copies one for the folks and one for you. Coming out to your parents is a toughie and this author is a parent who has been through this and isnt a santimonious so-and-so but real down to earth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for parents and children!, 16 Dec 1998

By A Customer

I thought this book was excellent. I read it before coming out to my parents and it helped prepare me for what was a very difficult step. It gave me a sense of what they would be thinking. Because this book is written for both children and parents it provides a unique perspective that other books fail to provide. It also has a useful chapter on reconciling homosexuality and religious beliefs. Since using this book and giving a copy to my parents, I have purchased several other copies for friends in similar situations.
