Affliction: Growing Up With a Closeted Gay Dad begins with a prologue in which the author's father tells her he's gay. But almost immediately the narrative switches to the minutiae of an adult recounting their childhood.

Missing in these pages for me is what her father felt and thought. I understand that this book is focused on "the effect his secret had on her own life," but what about him? What did he go through? That's more the story I'm interested in reading.

The book has a pretty cover.
