Summary: This book is an invitation for gay people to see their difference not as a defect, but as a calling to travel a new territory and bring a new gift to their Tribe. It is based on the journey of the hero as described by mythologist Joseph Campbell and follows the steps he outlines, from life in the "ordinary world," through the "call to adventure," reluctantly setting out on the journey, meeting the obstacles that include the "supreme ordeal" of wrestling with fear and condemnation in the "inmost cave," triumphing over "the Shadow," and finally returning with "the Elixir," the healing substance of love.
