For most of his childhood, Joseph lived the quintessential Mormon life in Utah. But at the age of thirteen, he began to be faced with an ominous fact: that he was gay. The inner battle between his religious and sexual identities raged for ten years, nearly driving him to suicide. However, one night he realized that the monumental effort he had put into becoming a straight, mainstream Mormon man was not only an exercise in futility, but simply the wrong path for him. Around the next corner, he found the peace and happiness that had always been so elusive.
Perfect is a deeply moving and eloquent narrative of a story that happens all too often. That Joe not only survived, but is thriving and now able to share his journey is a fine contribution from which many will benefit. This book should be read by all people of religion who still choose fear over love.
--Carol Lynn Pearson, author of Goodbye, I Love You and No More Goodbyes
