Even though Exodus International, the largest ex-gay organization, closed in 2013, the practice still thrives in many conservative religious communities.

A soulful memoir of desire and a woman’s midlife quest to let go—in jazz and in life. Lisa—a classically trained pianist, wife, and mother—yearns for something she can’t define.
