Everyone should be so lucky-an idyllic upbringing in bucolic Idaho, a loving family, a close-knit community ... but what if your authentic self challenges life as you know it and your place in it?

To stay as a pariah and risk exile or to flee as a refugee without identity ... that is the question. Reclaimed is a quest of personal reconciliation of a double life, a blend of dichotomous mishaps and redemptive insights.

Resist the folly of conformity, empower yourself, dare to be you! Reclaimed offers hope that life is manageable and happiness is a choice!

Ray Cook, an Idaho native, came of age in Germany as an excommunicated Mormon. He lives with his partner in Boston, where he graduated with a BA in modern languages and works as a flight attendant.
