Jessi Hempel was raised in a seemingly picture-perfect, middle-class American family. But the truth was far from perfect. Her father was often gone, and her mother grew lonely and erratic. Jessi and her two younger siblings struggled to make sense of their family, their own desires, and the emotional turmoil surrounding them. In different ways, all five of them lived in hiding-until the summer when everything changed. By the time Jessi reached adulthood, everyone in her family had come out: Jessi as gay, her sister as bisexual, her father as gay, her brother as transgender, and her mother as a survivor of an experience with an alleged serial killer. Yet coming out was just the beginning, unleashing a chain reaction of personal revelations and reckonings that caused each to question their place in the world in new and liberating ways.
