In this first-of-its kind memoir, a gay man explores the emotional risks and rewards of mentoring a troubled young Latino boy. In the process, he learns more about himself than he ever imagined.

As an award-winning social activist and mentor in the Big Brother/Big Sister program, former journalist and documentary filmmaker, Aaron Kirk Douglas illuminates the emotional turmoil inherent in mentoring an at-risk youth.

After the White House, Keckley went on to become one of the first successful independent black business owners in America, forming a profitable line in dress-making for the wives of prominent politicians, including the spouses of Robert E. Lee and Jefferso...

Nine Years, Three Weeks and Three Days: A Story of Love, Life, Laughter and Loss

by K.L. Dale

I didn’t know what I was writing when I started. It was just a way for me to get things off my chest, out of my head; losing John affected me in ways I hadn’t considered. Writing ‘Nine Years’ helped me to realise, and appreciate, things I hadn’t previously acknowledged as important, or relevant. I never planned on it becoming four parts, it just happened. There were moments when I had to stop writing so I could cry, laugh, think, breathe, let whatever revelation I had had, to sink in. We enjoyed lots of good times over our nine years together, too many to talk about. I have included some of my favourites. We had a good life with lots of laughter, it wasn’t all doom and gloom.I wasn’t sure if I would let people read what I was writing at the beginning; it is deeply perso...

The Vodka Diaries: A Peace Corps Volunteer's Adventures in Russia

by Richard Sayette

A Peace Corps Volunteer's Adventures In Russia!In a radio broadcast on October 1st, 1939, Winston Churchill referred to Russia as, “a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.” During my tenure as a Peace Corps Volunteer in the Russian Far East, I found Churchill’s words to be accurate, as my limited knowledge about Russia stemmed from Dostoevsky and Pushkin novels. From the summer of 1994 until late 1995, I lived and worked in the Russian Far East as a Peace Corps Volunteer managing a small business center; only a few miles from both the Chinese and North Korean borders. I experienced firsthand the thrilling and often confusing environment as the Russian people established a foothold in a more open society marked by their initial forays into capitalism.My experiences living with...
