Description

In this day and age you would expect full acceptance on the part of the public and individuals alike in matters of religion, nationality, race, and sexual orientation. You would expect; however, you would not find. "Telling My Wife I Was Gay Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time," is a perfect example of what little progress the world has actually made in the understanding and acceptance of Homosexuality. This novel describes a life lived in secrecy, from childhood experiences to present day, which leads to the trauma of one man's coming out and the consequences that followed. Author Michael Dubé's greatest fears are faced when he reveals his true self to his family, friends, and relatives. There's no turning back once his secret is out (and the truth about his wife.) If you've ever wondered what it must be like to live with such an incredible secret, or speculated what sufferings the queer population is forced to endure, or perhaps you've never given it a moment's thought as you sneered at the very topic of homosexuality; here now is your opportunity to understand. "Telling My Wife..." is more than just another story; it's a 'How To' for wives and families alike in the matters of caring for anyone who is part of a minority. It's a book of encouragement for those who are the minority (in this case: homosexuals.) It's a hand out-reached to anyone experiencing a similar existence. No one is alone in their struggles, no matter how alone they may feel. Do not hide yourselves away forever: lose who you may lose, and gain what you may gain, but seek out happiness, wherever it resides. That is what this book is about: moving beyond the hurt to something finer!
