Description

A straight, young, white hustler makes 35 cents when he turns his first trick at 13 years of age. As he hustles his way through the South Florida gay community and juvenile detention system in the late 1980s, his life on the edge begs the questions: will he find home? Will he find love?

This book is like a punch in the gut but I was unable to put it down until it was finished. I hope to read something else from Lee very soon.

power of caring, and even Buddhist philosophy. Don't pick this one up unless you have time to read it to the end.
