A transformative memoir that reimagines love and offers a radical vision for healing. Life breaks us at birth, and we spend our lives trying to become whole again. “To return, to be made whole again. This is another word for love,” writes Carvell Wallace. He delves into his own history, exploring the struggles and beauty of growing up Black and queer in America. Rather than a narrow tale of pain and survival, this memoir transcends traditional narratives. Wallace, an award-winning journalist known for his captivating profiles, turns his lens inward, reflecting on his life experiences—seeking refuge from homelessness with a young single mother, living in a predominantly white Pennsylvania town, and raising two teenagers in a seemingly collapsing world. With courage, vulnerability, and a remarkable spirit, he crafts a compelling narrative that champions life, healing, and the fullness of humanity. This extraordinary book serves as a radical meditation on healing through the lenses of justice, sex, family, and death. It can be seen as a theory of life itself, inviting readers to embrace the expansive wonder of existence.
