Road Home

In "Road Home," Rex Ogle faces a life-altering ultimatum from his father when his sexuality is revealed, forcing him to abandon his home within twenty-four hours. He journeys to New Orleans, seeking solace while grappling with the challenges of coming out, first love, and the harsh realities of homelessness. This poignant narrative captures the trials of adolescence against a backdrop of survival, trauma, and resilience, continuing Ogle’s exploration of his young adulthood as seen in his previous memoirs, "Free Lunch" and "Punching Bag."
