Finding Sunlight

In their debut coming-of-age memoir, Chrissy Holm untangles purity culture, LGBTQ+ religious trauma, and a complicated father-daughter relationship — and discovers what meaningful love can look like on the other side.

“I love how candid the author was with their story and shared so many intimate details. This must've been a tough story to write, but I'm so glad they chose to share their experiences with us! We need more stories like this in the world. I felt so seen reading this and really commend the author for choosing their own path.

This is a well-written, wonderfully poetic book which I really enjoyed! It's a super quick read but a really enjoyable one! I'm so glad I picked it up!! If you're looking for a truly excellent memoir, please pick this up!”
