Description

In this groundbreaking memoir, an award-winning mentor explores the emotional risks and rewards of being a gay man mentoring a Latino boy."Growing up Twice is surprisingly funny, melancholy and hopeful. Aaron Douglas has a novelist's eye for small but telling details, and his insight into the messy task of being a human being is impressive. More than a memoir, it's a guided tour of two Americas barely covered by the so-called mainstream." -- Frank M. Young, Award-winning author, artist and musician"This story made me want to call everyone I love and somehow make them understand what this book made me understand: that our relationships of love transcend everything else." -- Jennifer Brandlon, former AP Newswoman and Correspondent, The Oregonian"Written in a contemporary American voice that's clear, easy to read, and engaging." -- Arthur Manzi, Writer/Editor
