In this clear and absorbing memoir John Sam Jones writes of
a life lived on the edge. It is story of journeys and realisation,
of acceptance and joy. From a boyhood on the coast of Wales
to a traumatic period studying at Aberystwyth, to a scholarship
at Berkley in California as the AIDS epidemic began to take
hold before returning to Liverpool and north Wales to work
in community engagement and sexual health. A journey of
becoming a writer and chronicler of his experiences with
award-winning books and the desire to become a campaigner
for LGBT rights in Wales. The adventure of running a guest
house in Barmouth where he eventually became Mayor
with his husband, a German academic, who he had married
after a long partnership. Three weeks after the European
Referendum they put the business on the market and moved
to Germany. John is still on that journey.
