Adam Mastroianni

Start with One Adam Mastroianni

Adam grew up in a typical Italian-American community, with a great family and wonderful friends. But for more than a decade, he desperately hid the most painful secret of his life. Start With One details Adam's journey through understanding his own sexuality, the struggles of coming out to his loved ones, and his religious and moral conflicts. This heartfelt story depicts what it takes to be true to oneself and others while battling deeply rooted cultural prejudices. Adam reveals the process of breaking free from society's chains, which forced him to believe that he couldn't identify as both a gay male and a Christian. He tackles the monumental social, political, and professional changes in the world and himself. Start With One provides a vital call for human equality while embodying true and unconditional love. In an effort to help spread awareness into one of the most misunderstood and prejudiced topics in society, for each book that is sold, one free copy will be donated. The donated books will be distributed along with a list of LGBT resources to high schools, churches, homeless shelters and organizations nationwide. If even one person's life can be changed, the work will have been well worth the effort.
