Sean O’Brien couldn’t remember the last time he made a promise and then broke it.  Many years ago his grandfather had taught him a “man’s word is his bond.”

It’s a personal code–a way O’Brien conducts his life.  He has every intention of keeping the promise he makes to wife, Sherri, right before her death.

After Sherri dies, O’Brien leaves his career as a homicide investigator with the Miami PD and relocates to a remote section of Florida wilderness on the banks of the St. Johns River.

He’s restoring an old home and trying to rebuild his life when he discovers a young woman badly beaten and left for dead near the alligator-infested river.  She whispers a cryptic message in O’Brien’s ear, and he makes a promise to her.

It’s an accord O’Brien believes the local police will fulfill.  But when authorities drag their feet on the investigation, O’Brien finds the promise he made to his dead wife is about to conflict with the promise he made to the woman who was savagely attacked.

Soon O’Brien is plunging deep into the dark world of human trafficking and sexual slavery.  O’Brien finds that an old case he never solved in Miami resurrects it’s head on the banks of an ancient river and tracks him.

In this raw memoir, a naval officer struggles to find his authentic self between his religious beliefs, a military inquiry into his suspected homosexuality, reparative therapy, and a marriage to a woman. Despite the pain and controversy he caused in himself and others, Paul B. Tripp writes with humor and empathy about a life that has been anything but easy in Choking on Silence: A Memoir.

The military investigation into his homosexuality would last nine years. During that time, Tripp served within the Submarine Force as an enlisted man and within the National Security Agency as a naval officer, where he was designated with a Top Secret clearance.

Beyond the investigation, Tripp would have to face himself in his private life back home. He grapples with the pain and joy of his marriage, attempting to live a heterosexual life though he is a gay male. Due to his religious beliefs and mounting social pressure, he tried anything to become straight. He entered counseling with the National Association of Reparative Therapy for Homosexuality, a national consortium of psychologists and untrained religious counselors that believes that gays can be cured of their sexuality.

Tripp would father a son and attempt to solidify his marriage. But like any human being, he had to be true to himself. He would come out, acknowledge his sexuality, and eventually look back at the past with sincerity, humor, and his supportive male partner of nine years by his side.
