Live Through This

Surviving the Intersections of Sexuality, God, and Race

By: Clay Cane

Narrated by: David Sadzin

This powerful book couldn’t come at a more timely juncture. With our deep misunderstanding of racial identity, the murder of transgender women increasing at an alarming rate, and the battle of faith and sexual orientation at churches across the country, we are in a cultural war of ideologies. Overwhelming prejudices have constricted our basic capacity for compassion and understanding.

Live Through This is a collection of intimate essays about one man’s journey to self-acceptance when his faith, sexuality, and race battled with societal norms. These insightful writings will plant seeds of consideration and inspire readers to stretch beyond stereotypes. By reading stories about the demographics that live on the fringe of traditions, we gain a deeper awareness of our cultural climate and how we can improve it, starting with ourselves.

Thanks Clay

I am so thankful for you sharing. I felt so much empathy while listening to your experiences growing up. Thank you! You give me courage to continue writing my own.

There are true allies out there

This story is the essence of what it means to have an ally. The author was blessed to be born to a mother that most wish they had and a father that could have done better but helped shaped the author to his present day self.

This is an AMAZING coming of age story.

I really enjoyed this story and have rewind several times because it was so detailed. I felt every emotions and envisioned his journeys.

A Passion journey.

A heartfelt felt experience that gives meaning, insight, courage, and faith when living in a complicated world.

Thank you, Clay, for your honesty and compassion.

The personal story of one man's struggle ...

Whether you are LGBTQ or not, this story is relatable to many as Clay Cane matures from a boy to a man coming to understand who he is in school, at home, with his relatives and in the world. We learn how his life experiences helped mold him into the successful man he is today.

I saw him on TV as a guest commentator and heard about this new book. That day I ordered it and it has been entertaining, interesting and an enjoyable read. I highly recommend this book.
