Synopsis

Lorinda Boyer strove continuously to be virtuous in the eyes of God and to live the life she believed He intended for her. She married her high school boyfriend at eighteen and had two kids by twenty-eight. Although she created a perfect Christian home for her family, she never felt wholly content in her role as wife and mother. Then her life intersected with Robin's-the woman who would ultimately awaken her sexuality and show her true love for the first time.
Struggling to come to terms with her sexual identity within the confines of her strict fundamentalist Christian upbringing, Lorinda is pushed into living a double life: one-part perfect housewife and mother, the other part sexual addict. She soon finds herself in the fight for her life. More than a coming-out story, this is a coming-into story-coming into an authentic life and self.

A book of raw honesty, and pure feelings. Lorinda's journey in this is pure, inspirational, and jarring at points.

Goodreads review by Cathy on November 30, 2021

This book had me laughing, crying, sighing in pain and sighing over the romance… a rollercoaster of a ride. Many people may be shocked by the opening pages, but what I think Lorinda is doing is setting the reader on a path that many people have never experienced. Those of us who experienced sexual a......more

Goodreads review by Al on November 08, 2021

From the first page the author lets the reader know they’re in for a courageous yet perilous journey of discovery. She bares her inner most secrets in a way that's one part honest and one part shocking. The prose is evocative and transports the reader to a dark place. Then she shows us a light. A li......more
