Lorinda Boyer strove continuously to be virtuous in the eyes of God and to live the life she believed He intended for her. She married her high school boyfriend at eighteen and had two kids by twenty-eight. Although she created a perfect Christian home for her family, she never felt wholly content in her role as wife and mother. Then her life intersected with Robin's-the woman who would ultimately awaken her sexuality and show her true love for the first time. Struggling to come to terms with her sexual identity within the confines of her strict fundamentalist Christian upbringing, Lorinda is pushed into living a double life: one part perfect housewife and mother, the other part sexual addict. She soon finds herself in the fight for her life. More than a coming-out story, this is a coming-into story-coming into an authentic life and self.

Lorinda Boyer is a life-long reader and writer. She published an excerpt from Straight Enough in True Stories, The Narrative Project, Volume I in 2019 and she posts regularly on her blog https: //lorindaboyer.com. When she isn't writing, Lorinda works as a personal trainer and fitness instructor and enjoys jogging, hiking, and cycling. She makes a home with her wife in Tucson, Arizona.
