Overview

Honest to God is the timely memoir of sweet, anxious, people-pleasing Jennifer as she embarks on the journey to earn her degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and is forced to confront her years of hiding away the truth that she is not like the good Christian girls who surrounded her. With bold vulnerability steeped in self-deprecating wit, Jennifer recounts her efforts to fit in with women around her by lying to herself and others while indulging in secret relationships with married women. Thanks to her giftedness at denial and rich evangelical background she manages to maintain a genuine belief that she is just a heterosexual gone astray and will eventually find the man she longs to sleep with until she meets a tribe of honest and accepting therapists. After a year in graduate school she makes the gut wrenching decision to fight against her shame, fear and 20 years of Evangelical indoctrination to be honest with herself. Underneath the rubble of her deconstructed faith she realizes she wasn't the wretch she always thought. She was just a basic lesbian. In no time at all, she has met the woman of her dreams. The promise of a happily ever after is all it takes to force her out of the closet and into the life she had always dreamed of.
