Kenneth Strange only ever had one goal in mind-to become an Olympic gymnast. When he finally gets to try out for a gymnastics team, things seem to be going so well until he finds out that the club has rejected him. Kenneth's interests never seemed to match the image his father had in mind. You're a boy, he lambasted. It's time to start acting like one!
While facing the external pressure of living up to Dad's standard and his newly unwanted sexuality, Kenneth looked to Christianity as the answer to his dilemma.
In Cartwheels on the Curbside, Kenneth recounts all this in unswerving detail. He chronicles the drama surrounding his membership in the International Churches of Christ (ICOC) and the control it took over his life while attempting to chase his dream of becoming an elite gymnast as an adult. Kenneth also recounts his escape from the organization and the subsequent feelings of shame, social anxiety, and eternal damnation that made him spiral into addiction, depression, and suicidal ideation.
Written with hilarious candor, Cartwheels on the Curbside is an inspiring story of remarkable resilience and the journey to self-acceptance.
