This final, essential chapter in Rex Ogle's memoir trilogy recounts being forced from his home and living on the streets after his father discovered he was gay.
Brief description: Rex Ogle is the award-winning author of Free Lunch, Punching Bag, Abuela, Don't Forget Me, Road Home, and, most recently, When We Ride. He lives in Los Angeles, California.
Review Quotes: Ogle's story, relayed in short, fast-paced chapters, is deeply personal and affecting, and readers will be anxious to learn how this period of his life ended. Raw and vulnerable; a necessary look at the realities of homelessness.-- "Kirkus Reviews (starred review)"
