{"product_id":"9781717866790","title":"In Search Of...?: A Sequal to \"The Journey.\"","description":"The Journey was my personal coming out as gay. \"In Search Of...?\" goes into areas the first book did not venture. I touched on people, yet did not touch on emotions. Over the course of the past two years, since the publication of \"The Journey,\" I had joined a web-group called \"Quora.\" The question asked brought about some deep soul-searching and helped in writing this book. \"In Search of...?\" is my emotional journey of finding the person who got lost. Knowing how deeply I loved and what I was forced to deny for most of my life. It is also a search for what I truly want in life. I lost so much, sacrificed decades of my life for others while losing the most important person of all. I lost Me. This is a journey as well. Life is a journey. Every single step we take is a journey. One of my favorite movies of all times is: \"Dangerous Minds.\" Michelle Pfeiffer playing Louanne Johnson, as a teacher in an inner-city school. Her character, based upon a true story. I have used the lesson she taught many times when working as a substitute teacher. CHOICE. I could choose to let my life pass into nothing. Just become an unknown person who endured a lot of pain and abuse and never let anyone know. Simply live my life as an unknown. OR, I could choose to write about it. Put the pain, abuse, and challenges down on paper or e-book and share what I experienced with others. Let them have a voice through my words. I knew by making that choice, it would give me two more choices. Knowing I could get backlash from relatives who would not believe the things written and calling me a liar. Knowing what I say is true because the proof is on my skin with the scars from the abuse. Which in itself are two more choices, and so forth? I am a contradiction in more ways than one. I am someone who has been through a lot of things and yet I still have a gentle heart. I have been seriously hurt, and I still love.I hope what I have written, not only touches your heart, it touches your spirit. I hope it encourages you and helps you to know, you are not alone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eWilliam Lee Sillyman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eIndependently published\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eJul 22, 2018\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e189 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e1717866794\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781717866790\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Independently published","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50371575251249,"sku":"9781717866790","price":12.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9781717866790__38645.jpg?v=1732601586","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781717866790","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
