Shame-Sex Attraction is a sucker punch of a book highlighting the complexities and heart-breaking experiences of those who suffered at the hands of institutions who promised to do right by them. Despite the fact that some of the accounts in the book are gut-wrenching and traumatic, the featured authors find a way to reinforce the importance of accepting oneself. A very thoughtfully crafted collection of stories, Shame-Sex Attraction has the ability to bring new light, and open up new conversations, about the horrific practice of conversion therapy.
