“William Dameron’s memoir is an unflinchingly honest and brave piece of work that explores the secrets and lies of his lifetime as a married, closeted southern man. But like all good books, it’s really about so much more. I dare anyone who reads it to not think of their own struggles to admit who we truly are at heart. In a way, THE LIE is a coming of age story that reminds us it’s never too late to become our true selves. “
