Love: From Behind

About the Book

Synopsis

“Let’s get one thing straight up front. I AM NOT SERON! My name is Lee. I am a different kind of man, but a man nonetheless. I know what you thinking after reading the things Seron said about me. Yes, I like sex. I mean, I’m awesome at it and haven’t had any complaints so why not have as much as I can? Besides, I’m an educated, working black man with my own place. I have a job and pay my taxes. Family values? My mama and family are taken care of. God? I love me some Jesus and He loves me and that is all you need to know! Love? Look, I did that whole thing. Nope, it didn’t end great but I’m cool. I don’t need to try that again. Scared? Naw, I’m not scared. Honestly, there’s nobody I’m feeling anyway. Well, there is one guy but, that’s a long story. Regardless, I’m the type of guy that is always on the move and the only way that love stuff will catch me again is from behind.”

“The central theme is a simple one--as RuPaul often declares, "If you don't love yourself, how the hell you gonna love somebody else?"--but Pierce doesn't deal with it in a simplistic way.” – James Earl Hardy, Author of the bestselling B-Boy Blues Series.
