The disco craze is waning as is the heyday of gay liberation, and an invisible beast called AIDS has yet to make itself known. In the midst of all this, an adventure begins for two young men. Recently laid off from his job in a small Ontario town, Neil is looking for a change in his life. Contemplating what to do next he meets Bryn, a young officer facing personal struggles of his own. Their adventure begins, as they travel west across Canada seeking a new life together. But societal pressure is not as kind to them as they are to each other, and rifts begin to appear. These are two separate stories about Neil and Bryn, as their lives intertwine, part, then carry on to new adventures. It is a story of acceptance and bravery while under fire for living freely along life's road without end.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51057841275153,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51057844977937,"sku":"NIN9781927848173","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1927848172.jpg?v=1780566747"},{"product_id":"sharing-our-journeys-2-queer-bipoc-elders-tell-their-stories-book-ron-kearse-9781927848708","title":"Sharing Our Journeys 2 (Queer BIPOC Elders Tell Their Stories)","description":"Sequel anthology to Sharing Our Journeys: Queer Elders Tell Their Stories. Queer BIPOC Elders Tell Their Stories is a volume of essays from authors who speak of the pain and ridicule of being different, courage in the face of ostracism, same-sex love and transitioning genders when and where they were illegal from a perspective of various BIPOC communities. The success of community building begins with drawing one another into participation through connection and conversation. Let Sharing Our Journeys 2 be an important conversation-starter, as we work together to co-create communities of loving inclusion. - Neil Fernyhough Contributing Authors: Agustin Restrepo, CJ Jackman-Zigante.

It is a book about how street art and local history combine to create a unique story that is only obvious when you stop to examine it. 1985 is unique because this was the year before Vancouver was to change drastically and forever with the advent of Expo 86. Since then Vancouver, once Canada's quiet, provincial city on the west coast, has become a modern cosmopolitan, multicultural boom center with towering glass and steel buildings stretching to the sky, replacing the sawmills, low-rise buildings and parking lots that once were plentiful on the landscape. We invited the world, the world came.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53336734826769,"sku":"NIN9781927848197","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781927848197.jpg?v=1780567486"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-ron-kearse.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
