Nickel Fare
A novel of youth, yearnings and a little too much freedom. It is the story of a young gay man who must navigate a landscape of dangers: sex trafficking, drugs, stabbings and toxic relationships. New York City in 1971 is the gritty, iconic setting for this story of desperate situations and ultimately, gay manhood. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger was never more true than in this novel. Some graphic sexual scenes and strong language.
