The Sojourners: A Coming-of-Age Novel

Coming of age for anyone can be difficult, and when you are black and gay, it can be that much harder. But no matter who we are, launching and coming into our own is always a momentous and life changing experience. Aaron Markham is finding that out. From the suburbs of New York, to the bars of Houston; from the gyms and gay mecca of West Hollywood, to the bathhouses and creative centers of London, his journey of transition and self discovery will not always be easy. But despite the challenges, heartbreaks and losses, he learns from hard won lessons, picking himself up and navigating life's changes and chances-with wit, humor, and the sometimes unexpected support of family and friends-all the while following his heart, believing in himself no matter what, and ultimately finding his way to happiness . . . and love.
