Some moms cry. Some moms hug you. Our mom threw holy water at us when we came out.

Pray The Gay Away chronicles the 7-year journey of the Zakar Twins as they face coming out to each other and their crazy Iraqi mother who tried to pray their gay away. This memoir is a coming-of-age story showcasing what it’s like being queer & Middle Eastern in modern day America.

Reviews On Pray The Gay Away:

"I just finished reading "Pray The Gay Away" and I think it resonates well with queer youth today. Especially
from personal experience growing up with a couple of closeted queer siblings myself. This book tackles the
inner and outer struggle of confronting/trying to understand and express your sexuality. As well as dealing
with the aftermath from your family once you’re out. “Pray The Gay Away” does a great job of illustrating
the journey “coming out” takes for both the parent and child. It’s a good read for any parent with queer
children or any queer young adults alike!"

"A great story for any gay person to read, regardless of their own coming-out situation. It has moments of
humor, shock, and raw emotion. It shows that normal doesn’t mean picture-perfect, but rather a journey
that ends up better in the end than when it started."

"This is such a great book! You’ll find yourself laughing and relating to Michael and Zach throughout the
entire thing! I definitely recommend this book for everyone whether you’re gay, straight, or in between.
They are surely helping so many people just by being their authentic selves. More Zakar Twins, please!!"

"This book really touched me. My coming out to my parents went a heck of a lot smoother than Zach and
Michael's, but I think I was just as scared. Very relatable."
