"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.

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.

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.
