Introducing a stunning new voice in literary memoir: Sally Lowe Whitehead offers the riveting tale of her lifelong search for a spiritual home -- and her discovery of a secret that broke and remade her life and her vision of faith. Sally Lowe Whitehead and her husband were spiritual seekers. Cradle Catholic and cradle Episcopal, they became born-again southern Baptists, joined home churches and repressive religious sects -- all in a restless search for a faith that felt real, a God that seemed true. But after twenty-one years of marriage, after the birth of six sons and in the midst of their journey into Christian fundamentalism, Whitehead learned a shocking truth: Michael, her husband, was gay. The Truth Shall Set You Free is Whitehead's fascinating chronicle of her struggle to accept the truth about her husband -- and to free herself from fundamentalism and embrace a joyous new vision of God and family. In this honest and lucid memoir, Whitehead tells the story of her marriage, her husband's secret life, their roving quest for God -- and the unexpected truths of acceptance, forgiveness and love that they discovered at that quest's end. Whitehead's story is an eloquent, moving portrait of freedom discovered beyond the walls of spiritual and personal repression.
