The Paisley Jubilee Story (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781649799159)

At a mental health program in New Jersey, the colorful Paisley Jubilee brightens even the cloudiest days. A middle-aged gay man battling diabetes and depression, he empathizes deeply with fellow patients struggling to quiet inner demons.

Surrounded by a cast of endearingly quirky characters who speak and act outside the norm, Paisley discovers connection, community, and his own vibrant voice within a system that often overlooks people who think differently.

Through Paisley's uplifting friendships and hard-won wisdom, The Paisley Jubilee Story delicately explores complex themes of mental illness, identity and stigma. But with humor and heart, these unforgettable personalities illuminate that hope can dawn in even the most broken of places when compassion kindles our shared humanity.
