Long Way Out - E-book - ePub

Inside a sprawling suburban home, Russell's wife and sons know him as a devoted husband, father, and provider. At the office, co-workers know him as a no-nonsense, master salesman. On the Little League diamond, the Pirates know him as their inspirational coach. But there's an essential part of himself Russell only reveals to nameless strangers. Although he can't deny his same-sex attraction or his bisexual identity, he fears that coming out would be devastating to those he loves most and blow his entire world to smithereens.
So, Russell finds himself living a double life, governed by an explicit set of self-imposed, self-protective rules. The curtain separating Russell's dual personas is already beginning to unravel when he meets Bryan, at which point Russell embarks upon a precarious, personal journey from deception to honesty, from fracture to wholeness, from the closet into the light.
