I just received a really beautiful and heartfelt letter from a young man who recently read my book. He could completely relate to my story; as he saw it mirroring his own. Wow! I thought. When I wrote my book, I felt like I was taking a big chance: Is it all too gross? Or, will no one be able to see anything of themselves in it? I have been very surprised that many men, some of them very young, have already been through so much pain. I am not glad for this, but they are happy that they no longer feel alone or shamed. Thank you God, for giving me a voice.
