My Lights is the true story of how to survive a childhood different from others and thrive in an adult world that discourages those who don't quite fit into society's expectations. As a gay man, Steve paid a price for not fitting into the life in which he was born. As soon as he graduated from high school, he enlisted in the Air Force and began the search for his authentic self.

After retiring from the military, Steve embraced solitude, peace, and an unconventional lifestyle, living alone and away from society. It was during this time he found a better understanding of himself and the world. With new-found courage and a brighter perspective, he took pen to paper and authored this book, needing to share his words and his learned wisdom with others who have been challenged to feel "less-than" who they truly are.

A modern-day Henry Thoreau, Steve Zeiger chooses to live:

Follow Steve as he shares his struggles, stumbles, and successes. If you or someone you know is a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, this book offers encouragement, hope, and validation of the importance of being true to your authentic self.
