"Hilarious, poignant, heartwarming, heartbreaking, and universal. Eli McCann captures the experience of a Mormon upbringing, married life with his husband in Utah, and what it was like to exit his religion--all with clear-eyed honesty, insight, tenderness, and scar tissue. We're Thankful for the Moisture is a casual, easy, and joyful read, and that makes it all the more piercing and moving." -- Gabrielle Blair , New York Times best-selling author "Eli's writing contains colorful descriptions and relatable stories full of empathy and humor, underscoring the importance of community." -- Steve Young , Pro Football Hall of Famer, philanthropist, and New York Times best-selling author "Readers sometimes ask me, 'What's it like to edit Eli McCann?' Well, if I'm being honest, it's challenging, exhausting, and horrifying--challenging to avoid laughing out loud in the office when I come across his witty lines; exhausting to wear myself out looking for someone with whom I can immediately share his latest insight; and horrifying to know how little we pay him for his priceless columns. (Please buy this book. It'll help me sleep better at night.)" -- Dave Noyce , The Salt Lake Tribune "Being gay is fun.

Being a funny Latter-gay Saint? That's comedy gold. Eli McCann has somehow survived years of family home evenings; a full-time mission; and gay courtship, marriage and child-rearing in Utah--and turns it all into laugh-out-loud essays proving that sometimes, what some call wickedness can to others be happiness." -- Troy Williams , Equality Utah "Eli has a unique ability to put into words the cultural quirks and oddities of Mormonism in a way that endears him to readers around the globe. Through his hyper-specific anecdotes, he reveals universal truths while at the same time being personally relatable, making him one of my favorite writers." -- Meg Walter , Deseret News.
