    by Gregory Coles
    Foreword by Jen Pollock Michel

    ECPA Top Shelf Book Cover Award

    Belonging has never come easy to me.

    Growing up, there was my mutated national identity to deal with—my not-quite-American, not-quite-Indonesian soul, restless in both countries. Later, when I came out as a celibate gay Christian, I found I didn't fit into the church as easily as I used to. I've often wondered what it ...
