When Rex was outed the summer after he graduated high school, his father gave him a choice: he could stay at home, find a girlfriend and attend church twice a week, or he could be gayand leave. Rex left, driving toward the only other gay man he knew and a toxic relationship that would ultimately leave him homeless and desperate on the streets of New Orleans.
Here, Rex tells the story of his coming out and his fathers rejection of his identity, navigating abuse and survival on the streets. Road Home is a devastating and incandescent reflection on Rexs hungerfor food, for love and for a place to call homecompleting the trilogy of memoirs that began with the award-winning Free Lunch.
