Coming Out in the South is a book for anyone who has ever found themselves living someone else's life. Julie risks losing it all--her job, her marriage, and even her family--as she fights to find her voice in a world meant to keep her silent. Her story, after all, is not just a book on sexuality; it is a tale of hope, encouraging readers to fight for happiness, even in the darkest places.

Julie's insights on how to handle difficult situations are important learning lessons for each of us. We all have experiences that shape who we are, but sometimes connecting with others who have managed to come out on the other side of a battle with few scars and a positive outlook can give us the confidence we need to deal with the challenges of change. Julie also presents her stories and ways to cope with complex change in speaking engagements.
