This wonderful true story articulates that very ups and downs that come with finding oneself. The journey to being who we are as gay, and the friendships we make a long the way. Cory Allen intimately brings along on his journey, his fears, his hopes and his quest for love."
T.S. Goodreads
A story many of us can relate to, seeking acceptance and validation from outside, eventually learning that it’s always been inside, full of friends and family we’ll recognize...full of power brokers and celebrities. Easily readable and entertaining.”

It was a journey of Cory’s life of lessons learned and how people and events are placed in his life to help mold the person he is today. I whole heartedly enjoyed reading this book. It was very relatable, enjoyable, and full of emotions.”
C.S. Amazon
I stood in my kitchen and read the entire book in one night. I read his last words written with a deep breath. I closed the book and my eyes as I shed a tear, said I was sorry for this world we live in and said a prayer for his chapters left unwritten.”
