This book confronts the author’s long-buried and painful memories of his harrowing fifteen-year journey, a heart-wrenching love story and coming-of-age tale during the early years of the AIDS crisis in Los Angeles. It begins in 1984 when he came out of the closet as a college student just as the AIDS pandemic is beginning, and follows the events surrounding his relationship with his partner Stephen, who begins to show symptoms of AIDS in early 1986. This story is filled with heart, optimism, and love, interspersed with L.A. history, gay history, AIDS history, and a raw memoir of perseverance, integrity, spiritual growth — and most of all: survival and ultimate triumph.
