“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
