All the world beside

"All the world beside":

John, a young man from a conservative Christian family, has always struggled to live up to his parents' expectations. He's been a good son, attending the church they want him to attend and pursuing the degree they want him to pursue. But when he's outed as gay to his parents, his world is turned upside down.

His parents send him to a conversion therapy program, hoping to "fix" him. There, John meets other young people who are struggling with their sexuality and their faith. He also meets Daniel, a counselor at the conversion therapy program. Daniel is kind and supportive, and he helps John navigate the difficult emotions he's feeling. As John spends more time with Daniel, he starts to question everything he's been taught about himself and his sexuality.

John faces a difficult choice: either continue living a life that isn't true to himself, or risk losing the people he loves most. With the help of Daniel and the other young people in the program, John must decide what's most important to him and what kind of life he wants to live.

He chooses to come out to his parents and risk losing them, rather than continuing to live a lie. It's a difficult and emotional process, but he finds the strength to be true to himself.

The book explores themes of self-acceptance, the power of love, and the tension between faith and identity. It's a powerful and moving story that will stay with readers long after they finish the book. ( This is a summary of "All the world beside" and not the full novel.)
