Description: The story follows the author from rural southern Alabama in 1930, through the Great Depression of the thirties, World War II, his college years, then through his professional development as an artist educator, and describes his travels to forty-six countries. Throughout all of this the author threads stories of his secret struggles to satisfy his sexual desires while maintaining the secret of his, and his older brother's, homosexual life. Religion, racism, homophobia and poverty are described as issues against which the author struggles along with the alienation that these issues develop for the author and his brother. Intriguing stories told with analytical insight.
