The autobiographical novel on which the film starring Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe is based.

Boy Erased (Identidad borrada) tells the true story of Garrard Conley, the son of a fundamentalist Baptist pastor from a small town in the southern United States. At 19, his parents discover he is gay and decide to send him to Love in Action, a center where he must undergo a conversion therapy in which, through twelve steps based on the study of the Bible, they will try to suppress his sexual orientation. Garrard will have to face a decision that will change his future: “cure” his homosexuality or risk losing his family, friends, and the God he has prayed to every day.

Heartbreaking, brutal, and heroic, Boy Erased (Identidad borrada) is a testimony to how love can overcome the greatest difficulties; a moving portrait of the complex relationships between family, faith, and community.

The book, one of the bestsellers on the prestigious The New York Times list, has been adapted into a film by director Joel Edgerton in a movie starring Nicole Kidman, Russell Crowe, and Lucas Hedges.

“The power of Conley’s story lies not only in the graphic depiction of the grotesqueness of the therapy system but also in his lyrical writing about sexuality and love” (Los Angeles Times)

“Every sentence of this story will shake your soul” (O, The Oprah Magazine)
