Barbara Wilson
Barbara Wilson is the author of multiple books. In addition to writing, she is a professional musician and landscape photographer.
Her memoir is thoughtfully written for parents of LGBTQ sons or daughters. Barbara and Sandra will soon be celebrating 38 years of a committed, respectful, and grateful marriage.
On a moonlit night with the moon eclipsing, a fearful Barbara confesses to Sandra that she is gay. Sandra takes Barbara’s hands, and with electricity in their joined hands, quietly responds, “I don’t know if I’m gay, I just know I love you.” Their clandestine romance must survive small town gossip, religious convictions, family rejections, and a real threat of losing their jobs as teachers.
Part love story, part spiritual reckoning, Through the Closet Door is an uplifting testament to the peace one finds when you know in your heart that your love is not a sin.
