Devout: Singer David Archuleta on his journey to live authentically
Advertisement
David Archuleta has been on a yearslong journey to find himself. The pop star who catapulted to fame after finishing runner-up in season seven of “American Idol,” captured adoring audiences with his singing and musical prowess, but underneath was struggling with his identity. In his memoir “Devout: Losing My Faith to Find Myself,” Archuleta reveals untold stories of emotional abuse and life as a closeted teen in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. WBUR host and senior producer Amory Sivertson will moderate a discussion with Archuleta about his story coming out as a gay man in the LGBTQ community along with the heartbreak and joy of his newfound life living authentically.
Signed copies of the book will be available to purchase from our bookstore partner Brookline Booksmith.
