It has always been a curiosity for me to understand what goes on in the mind of someone who "comes out" after having been married for years and has children.  I have always wondered if they felt trapped, confused, ashamed or guilty.  I can't imagine what it would feel like to sort of wake up after living life for so many years in a heterosexual, socially-acceptable relationship and realize that I cannot be fulfilled by that life any longer.Stuart Fish does a beautiful job, through several short stories, of describing pivotal moments throughout his life bringing him to a point where he had to set himself free and confess his homosexuality to his wife and daughters.  He answered a lot of the questions that I had often wondered about someone living through such a thing.By the end of the book I was cheering him on for having the courage to live the life he deserves, free to be himself, and free to love who he chooses.
