From Where I Come

Three stories, one journey sets the tone in this three-part book. Set in Flint and Lansing, Michigan, part one explores the life and relationship of Vanthony and Reese as they navigate what it means to be young, gay, and in love. When everything else seems to crash, the one thing they can count on is their love for one another. In part two, Jamal finds himself in situations that test the very definitions of who he is. Caught in the middle of love, labels, weed, and spiritual awakening, Jamal has to dig deep and question everything. What happens when God takes the wheel? Drawn from the personal diary of Xzavier V. Simon, part three tells the unorthodox journey of a man looking and trying to understand himself, life, and what means to be free.
