Description: From one of the most vital and passionate Lgbtq+ activists comes a powerful memoir about self - discovery community love and resilience in the face of adversity. You never forget your first. First kiss. First love. First heartache. They all burrow their way into your subconscious destined to reshape how you see the world forever. Growing up in rural Oregon Brandon Wolf grappled with the devastating loss of his supportive mother and with the embedded racism and homophobia of a community that made him feel like an unwelcome stranger. After the lack of connection and role models led him down a spiral of risky behavior Wolf escaped to survive. In Orlando he found what he d been searching for: belonging in a community that was a safe space with people he d come to call his chosen family. They taught Wolf how to love and be loved unconditionally. Then on June 12, 2016, in an exhilarating refuge where Wolf and hundreds of others had discovered a liberating new normal they were suddenly challenged with fighting for a way out in order to survive. Overnight everything was ripped away by chaos panic and fear. But the unimaginable tragedy also gave Wolf a new power: purpose. In this unforgettable coming - of - age memoir Wolf shares his transformative journey from young outsider to galvanizing activist. Marshaling the compassion and strength of a community Wolf explores how to get through the darkest times with healing hope and resistance. With our backs against the wall he writes we find a way out together.
