My Secret Life is the author's account of his personal struggle to overcome societal norms that overwhelmed him throughout his life and almost defeated him. His struggle, while unique and personal, required courage, resilience, and strength and is one that can be related to and recognized by all.

A strong bond is formed between the reader and the author as they share in the moments of despair, pain, and fear, but also hope and joy, climaxing in the triumph of life over adversity. Like a phoenix from the flames, the author's captivating, engrossing account of his life hopes to inspire and liberate others, setting them free to live an open, fully authentic life, free from the shame and fear of living with a secret.
