When Rex came out about his sexual orientation the summer after graduating from high school, his father gave him an ultimatum: stay at home, find a girlfriend, and go to church twice a week, or be gay – and leave. Rex left, driving towards the only other gay man he knew and into a toxic relationship that would ultimately leave him homeless and desperate on the streets of New Orleans. Here, Rex narrates the story of his coming out and his father's rejection of his identity, navigating abuse and survival on the streets. The Road Home is a devastating and fiery reflection of Rex’s hunger – for food, for love, and for a place to call home – completing the trilogy of memoirs that began with the award-winning Free Lunch.
