Boy Erased is a heart-wrenching memoir about nineteen year old Garrard Conley's experience after he is outed by his rapist in college to his Baptist parents and subsequently enrolled in a Southern Arkansas conversion therapy program called Love in Action where he is introduced to damaging methods and idealogy to "cure" him of his sexual orientation. How a parent could inflict this on their child is beyond me. (1/?)
