Gibson's Bookstore is pleased to welcome Henniker author Sarah Locke with her memoir Living Out Loud: A Memoir of Speaking Up, Breaking Free, and Finally Being Seen, a courageous, heartfelt memoir that explores what it means to rediscover your voice, embrace your truth, and rise above life's most unexpected challenges.
In this inspiring and unflinchingly honest memoir, Locke shares her personal journey of transformation, from coming out as gay in her 30s to confronting the emotional complexities of a loving but fractured family, and ultimately facing a life-changing Multiple Sclerosis (MS) diagnosis. Living Out Loud is more than a story. It's a roadmap for anyone searching for hope, healing, and the strength to speak up and live authentically.
This empowering narrative speaks directly to readers navigating identity, chronic illness, mental health, or major life transitions. With moments of humor, heartbreak, and healing, Locke delivers a powerful message: even when life spirals out of control, you still have the power to take the next step forward.
Perfect for fans of memoirs about resilience, LGBTQ+ identity, and overcoming adversity, Living Out Loud offers a raw and uplifting look at how vulnerability can be a superpower and how being truly seen can change everything.
Whether you're looking for an inspiring MS memoir, an empowering LGBTQ+ coming out story, or a deeply human reminder that your story matters, Sarah Locke's journey will move you, motivate you, and leave you ready to live your own life out loud.
Can't make this event? Order the book through the Gibson's Bookstore website and we'll get it signed for you at the event! Put your signing or brief personalization requests in the order comments at checkout.
The author's proceeds from this book go to Locke’s Promise, a compassionate nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness about Multiple Sclerosis (MS) while directly supporting local community members affected by this challenging condition.
