Not your typical “boy meets girl” story.

More like “boy meets boy, boy meets girl, boy meets God.”

Hale grew up on a typical American farm in the heart of the Great Midwest, but his path was anything but conventional. When his best friend in college invites him into a romantic relationship, Hale’s life takes an unexpected turn into a world he never imagined.

Going Straight is a candid memoir written in the style of a novel, exploring the glorious, unpredictable, and multi-faceted dimensions of love. From the vibrant energy of male romance to the profound, twenty-three-year bond of marriage—and an ultimate encounter with the Divine—Hale’s journey transcends labels.

Filled with passion, heartbreak, and the raw honesty of a life fully lived, this is a story for anyone who believes that love doesn’t always follow a straight line.

Note to readers: This story contains mature themes and sensual descriptions of intimacy, which capture the heart and the heat of these deeply felt experiences. 🌶️🌶️🌶️
