In a riveting tale of self-discovery and resilience, Alex Newman and his father, Kevin, take you on a transformative journey. In their ground-breaking memoir All Out: A Father and Son Confront the Hard Truths That Made Them Better Men, Alex candidly reveals his path to self-realization, recounting the struggle of finding understanding within the anonymous confines of online chat rooms rather than within the familiar walls of his own home. His courageous account of coming out to his family resonates deeply, highlighting the challenges of finding one’s identity within society’s biased norms.
Meanwhile, Kevin, an esteemed Emmy and Gemini award-winning journalist shares a parallel narrative of his own. As he embarks on a new chapter in his career at Good Morning America, he grapples with a U.S. broadcast culture intent on reshaping his identity.
Alex and Kevin expose the scarce resources available to each of them, so they write a book for themselves and others. The culmination of months spent writing in solitude becomes the moment of truth as father and son exchange their completed manuscripts. Through their powerful life lessons and shared experiences, a profound story emerges — a testament to the bond between a father and his son.
