Damn Boy George & Thanks for the Heartbreak! (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798988427216)

From Nolli, a Treasure Coast of Florida-based artist and writer, comes a deeply personal and coming-of-age novel based on real-life events and experiences. Embark on a journey through a serendipitous night filled with anxiety, laughter, and tears ending in forgiveness and vindication for two people gripped by grief and loss.

The Treasure Coast of Florida is a community that navigates a narrow route between historic and modern southern culture. Embracing and celebrating people of color or any that identify as LGBTQ has not always been a welcome stop along that route, but nationwide tragedies have altered the course. Like a treasured black opal, this evening is a vibrant spectrum of color, deepened by dark, cloudy matter. An assortment of emotions is reflected in the artwork speckled throughout the exhibition tonight; an event fundraiser for the somber matter of LGBTQ Suicide Prevention. Dignitaries, philanthropists, and the community's wealthy elite have gathered to socialize and donate money to this year's political hot topic.

Sid is a promising, queer, digital artist that suffers from a severe lack of confidence. While onlookers are captivated by his artwork, he worries that it's out of place, like him, at the event. The arrival of two strangers seized by his work, sway Sid to reveal the true and traumatic, inspiring story behind his piece. As the night unravels and more of Sid's past is revealed, a profound connection between them leads Sid and the strangers to new depths of understanding and forgiveness.
