Colors of the Sky

This candid memoir recalls a Midwestern teenager in the 1960s who quietly loves a girl while performing the tidy roles her town expects. With warm, unvarnished storytelling the author remembers secret kisses, the ache of silence, and the small, dangerous choices that keep a life half lived. Against a backdrop of shame and covert threats the narrative traces a journey from fear and isolation to resilience and the slow rebuilding of trust. Tender, honest, and quietly fierce, it honors the everyday acts of courage that make an authentic life possible.
