Out of the Closet, Into the Light: My Journey Through a Marriage of Secrets
Out of the Closet, Into the Light is a deeply personal memoir chronicling Ms. Married Lady’s journey through the unraveling of her marriage and the rediscovery of her identity.
After years of believing she had the perfect partnership, she uncovers a devastating truth: her husband has been hiding his sexuality. With the foundation of her marriage shattered, she embarks on a painful but transformational path—grappling with betrayal, societal expectations, motherhood, and the faith that kept her grounded.
Through vulnerability, clarity, and compassion, Ms. Married Lady shares how she moved from silence to self-awareness, and from confusion to courage. Her story speaks to any woman who has found herself in the shadows of someone else’s truth—and fought her way back into the light.
Fathers & Sons: Raising Boys Through Dinosaurs, Testosterone & Girls
Fathers & Sons: Raising Boys Through Dinosaurs, Testosterone & Girls is a heartfelt memoir and reflective guide exploring the complicated, often unspoken emotional terrain between fathers and sons—told from the perspective of a woman raising one.
C. Lynn Williams takes readers through the intimate layers of her family history: a brother who died seeking his father’s approval, a distant dad whose silence echoed across generations, and her own experience raising a son in a world that teaches boys to be tough but not tender.
Divided into five parts—Foundations of Fatherhood, Growing Pains, Adolescence, Becoming a Man, and Legacy—the book follows the evolution of boyhood to manhood through themes like identity, rejection, anger, vulnerability, discipline, and individuality. Each chapter is paired with reflection prompts, giving parents tools to process and discuss what it means to raise sons in today’s world.
Part memoir, part parenting reflection, this book is a voice of compassion and clarity for mothers, fathers, and anyone who has ever longed to heal the wounds of their past to raise better sons for the future.
