Inspirational Memoir
The Book Review Directory (Rating–4 out of 5 stars): “Well-written and courageously honest, Thorns of Chester Street is a good fit for anyone looking to read an inspiring story.”
Kirkus Reviews: “A debut memoir chronicles a man’s struggle with his sexual identity and the ghastly abuse he suffered as a child. The author’s remembrance is disarmingly forthright, a courageous confessional that is moving for its honesty alone. Furthermore, he furnishes an important meditation on the reconciliation of homosexuality and Christian life. An affecting tale of triumph over brutal debasement.”
Amazon Customer Review: “Amazing life-story about strength, resilience, courage, and most of all, faith. I could not put this book down. To encounter abuse and neglect at every turn as a young boy and as an adolescent, this talented autobiographer describes, with great humility, how he discovers his strength and makes amends with dark beginnings and inner turmoil about his faith and sexuality. I highly recommend this book!”

Cardboard Treasure Box
The pounding of my heart was nearly as loud as the screams of my mother and sister. “Should I hide?” I wondered.
Stay On Your Own Mat
In a moment of clarity, I realized I had an important decision to make. Would I lean in to my discomfort—the place where the greatest growth comes—or run from it?
