About this book
Raised in a fundamentalist household that lived in constant anticipation of the Rapture, Aaron Hartzler writes a candid memoir of his teenage years. As he enters adolescence, he begins to question the doctrines he was taught and discovers aspects of his identity including his sexuality that clash with his family's beliefs, creating a deep personal conflict. His story follows his honest, often humorous attempt to navigate the tension between his loyalty to his family and his need to be himself, offering a vivid portrait of faith, doubt, and self-discovery.
