After decades of failed relationships and painful drama, Donald Miller, author of Blue Like Jazz, decided he'd had enough. Impressing people wasn't helping him connect with anyone. He'd built a life of public isolation, yet he dreamed of meaningful relationships. So at 40 years old he made a scary decision: to be himself no matter what it cost.

Scary Close is Donald Miller at his best.
