A Customer said A Thoughtful Study. "Out of the Twilight" is a thoughtful study of the feelings of fathers when their sons reveal they are gay. The fathers in the sample were from different racial, ethnic, educational, and financial backgrounds.This gave a varied view. I was impressed by the author'sability to describe the feelings of each father objectively. The reader begins to understand how these parents deal with their feelings and accept the reality of a gay son. This book gave me insight into how one copes with life and events beyond ones control and somehow survives and goes forward.. Bob said Thank You, Andrew --- from "Ronald". Having now had the benefit of reading your new book, I can fully appreciate the significance of your interview with me. Any father -- be their son gay or not -- can derive deep and meaningful father/son insight from its' content. It is excellent. Thank you for your efforts and congratulations on a superb piece of work.. A UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE ON COMING-OUT This exceptional book should be read by therapists and researchers, who would find it useful for clinically oriented purposes. Although a study, it reads like a novel. This author's passion for the subject matter is obvious. The vignettes are truly touching, capturing something quite unique about each father. A rare find.
