My review is for the audiobook.

It was like having him the author tell me his story in person.

Captivating and an excellent audiobook narrated by the author.

Captivating story and an excellent audiobook narrated by the author.

This book was so packed with information and meaning that when I saw the audiobook was on Hoopla I decided to listen to it. So I've read it once and then listened to it narrated. It was just as powerful and there were parts that I heard with a different perspective even just 9 months later.

I listened to the audiobook but have purchased and will eventually read the book as well but I'm actually very glad I listened to the audiobook first. It was like having the author in the room speaking to me since he wrote it to his son, now the author is only I think about 4 or 5 years older than I am but as someone freshly out it was still relevant st any age. And it covered a lot of territory my late but straight father couldn't have dreamed of even if he wanted to.

Excellent book. I may reread a physical copy someday but the audiobook was perfect for working and learning about LGBTQ+ history through the people who lived it.
