would suggest that this is refering to himself "coming out", in the
sense of admitting to the world, at last, that he IS the son of
Wilhelm Reich. It is also, in Kate's usage, somewhat of a double
meaning, in that it can also refer to the sun.

There was so much publicity surrounding W. Reich after his death, both 
as a "quack" and as an eminent scientist (depending on different people's
opinions!) that Peter Reich felt, initially, that he couldn't openly admit
to being P. Reich's son. By the end of the book, he had come to terms 
this and felt proud to be W. Reich's son.

By the way, there is NO daughter. Only one son.
