Brandon Wallace, raised in the delta of Arkansas, spent his entire life trying to hide behind a mask. Growing up, he knew only two things about himself: he was called to ministry a nd he was attracted to the same sex. Afraid that coming out would destroy his reputation, livelihood, and ministry, he hid his sexual identity in hopes of finding love and acceptance. However, God would take him on a journey he never expected. Straight-Face is the memoir of that long and profound journey from hiding behind a mask to living an authentic life; from running from himself to accepting his orientation and ultimately his faith. It is a story about life, about love, and about reconciling the unique beauty of both in a world that is slowly but surely learning to do the same. Show more
