The coming out story of Chastity Bono - daughter of Sonny and Cher - and the problems she had with coming out twice: first to her parents, then, publicly when she was outed by a US tabloid.

This is much more than just a personal story as Bono and her co-writer Billie Fitzpatrick include details of other gay men and women and their similar journeys. Family outing offers sensible, helpful advice to those coming to terms with their sexuality. But it is also an important primer for parents; and here they include their point of view too - how they felt about the difficult but ultimately successful journey they made in coming out as well.
