About this audiobook
Melissa Giberson is a middle-aged wife and mother, solidly planted in the life she’s always wanted. She longs for something more but can’t quite put her finger on it until she finds herself mesmerized by the sight of a naked woman and asks herself for the first time: Am I gay?
This revelation sends Melissa on a head-spinning journey of self-discovery, challenging everything she thinks she knows about herself and forcing her to decide how much she’s willing to risk for authenticity.
