Community Connections with Author Chris Lemig.
Chris Lemig knew he was gay at twelve years old. He just didn't wantÂ
to believe it. Spurred on by intolerance, ignorance and fear, he took hisÂ
first steps into the closet and so begin twenty-three years of drinking, drugsÂ
and attempted suicides. It's only after he wakes up one morning, beatenÂ
and still bleeding from a hate crime, that he finally finds the courage toÂ
come out and make a change. Renewed and refreshed, he finds sanity andÂ
healing in the teachings of Tibetan Buddhism and without looking back, setsÂ
off on an inspired pilgrimage to India and Nepal. The Narrow Way is theÂ
harrowing and sometimes beautiful story of a man who lost his mind only toÂ
find it again in a strange new religion, in a strange new place, halfwayÂ
across the world.
In the Narrow Way, Chris Lemig fearlessly slams his cinematic memoirÂ
down on your altar. He may go to India, but this ain't Eat, Pray, Love. TheÂ
Narrow Way demands that you face the great secret: you cause your ownÂ
suffering. But there's hope. Don't wait for the movie. Read this book!Â
