   Book 46: Conversion Therapy Dropout. This is an achingly poignant story about a guy who grows up in a religious household trying to "pray the gay away" for eight years with conversion therapy programs all the while enjoying a very successful career as a social media marketer for the same churches which don't accept him. He eventually comes to a better place as a queer adult but it's a long slog to get there and he remains very religious, but within an affirming community and supportive friends.
