Discovering Alfie

In this tell-all book, Author and Psychotherapist Alfonso F. Galan takes you through a deep and very personal account of hiding his same-gender attraction on account of religious, social and family pressures. He describes in detail the inner conflicts he battled as a husband, father and spiritual leader, and the path to living a new life of freedom and inner peace. The Williams Institute reports that an estimated 19 million Americans report that they have engaged in same-sex sexual behavior and nearly 25.6 million Americans acknowledge at least some same-sex attraction. Much more than an autobiography, this book is packed with well-researched historical and current perspectives. In it you will find commentaries and critiques on the social construction of sexuality, a well-argued position against the anti-gay agenda of the Christian church, and read about the accounts of real men and women whom have come to Alfonso for counseling on account of the inner conflicts they or a loved one have lived.
