It's my hope that sharing my experience will give hope to others who are learning to deal with their \"difference.\" I want them to know they don't have to live their lives in a permanent \"don't ask, don't tell\" existence. Truth is a powerful tool.\u003cbr\u003e\"But my hope for this book doesn't stop there. I think there is a message here for anyone who has ever suffered from a lack of self-esteem, felt the pain of loneliness, or sought love in all the wrong places. The lessons I have learned are not limited to race, gender, or sexual orientation. Anyone can learn from my journey. Anyone can overcome a broken heart.\"--E.
