At 3a.m. one night during the quiet shade of the pandemic, a 17-year-old boy entered his parents' bedroom to reveal a truth he'd been navigating alone for years. In his confession, he not only came out as gay, but also conveyed the depths of the mental health struggles he'd been battling as a result of conflicting messaging he'd endured in the religious institution in which he'd been raised.

At 3a.m. one night during the quiet shade of the pandemic, a 17-year-old boy entered his parents' bedroom to reveal a truth he'd been navigating alone for years. In his confession, he not only came out as gay, but also conveyed the depths of the mental health struggles he'd been battling as a result of conflicting messaging he'd endured in the religious institution in which he'd been raised. Autumn McAlpin's haunting literary memoir, But Jesus: A Conversation replays the various conversations that emerge during one family's coming out story-interchanges with loved ones who lean in and those who pull away, the back-and-forth with various LDS church authorities, and the quiet (and not so quiet) pleas of a mother as she petitions the higher power she believes in-one who offers unconditional love and hope for all. But Jesus: A Conversation takes us on a journey of a family deconstructing with the use of a compass and their conscience, and reconstructing with the salve that will help bind them most of all: love. With stunning cover art by J. Kirk Richards, this book is intended to offer an open shoulder for all families who find themselves at the intersection of the LDS and LGBTQ+ conflict, and for the loved ones trying to understand the complex choices they face. All proceeds from the sales of this book will be donated to life-saving therapy programs for the LGBTQ+ community at 501c3 nonprofits Encircle and Flourish.
