Book description
Hiding who you are can't help but alter the course of your life-and in some cases, it can even kill us or those we hold most dear. In this memoir of her twenty-two-year career in the U.S. Navy, retired Senior Chief Karen Solt shines a light on the heavy toll NCIS witch hunts and Don't Ask Don't Tell took on her and other LGBTQ Americans who donned the uniform in the 1980s-2000s.
About the Author
Karen Solt is a retired US Navy senior chief petty officer who served as a gay sailor from 1984 to 2006, prior to and during Don't Ask, Don't Tell. After hiding her sexuality from the world for most of her life, Karen considers herself a "Combat Hideologist," and believes the way back to personal and global peace and freedom is for every human to come out from hiding and commit to living the truth of who they are. She holds a master's degree in psychology (counseling), is an emotional health coach, and loves to help others discover and heal their own hiding places.
