Held And Free

In one moment, author Meagan O'Nan's life changed. She suddenly found herself an outsider, both to the life she had known and to the life she did not yet know. A gay woman in Mississippi, she had been outed -and she wasn't ready for it. Feeling unworthy of the life she had always wanted, Meagan left her home and all that was familiar to her in order to find herself. At rock bottom, she screamed to the Universe, "e;I want to be loved the way that I love!"e; It was in this desperate moment that her answer came. It wasn't what she had expected; it required her to break down all the walls she had built around her heart from her coming out experience. It required her to heal. The only way for her to be Held And Free was to return to Mississippi and come out of her story.
