520    Haunted and haunting, Jones's memoir tells the story of a 
       young, black, gay man from the South as he fights to carve
       out a place for himself, within his family, within his 
       country, within his own hopes, desires, and fears. Through
       a series of vignettes that chart a course across the 
       American landscape, Jones draws readers into his boyhood 
       and adolescence--into tumultuous relationships with his 
       mother and grandmother, into passing flings with lovers, 
       friends and strangers. Each piece builds into a larger 
       examination of race and queerness, power and vulnerability,
       love and grief: a portrait of what we all do for one 
       another--and to one another--as we fight to become 
       ourselves.
