He doesn't hold back while reliving the time when his father, Marine Col. Fred Peck, testified before Congress that there was no place for his gay son in the military. This is merely one of the many big moments shaping the book and the author's life, on top of the religious influences that surrounded him since he was born. This is a \"survivor's tale that in its universal appeal brings to mind the most compelling aspects of \u003ci\u003eGal\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eShot in the Heart\u003c\/i\u003e.
