This was an exceptional book written with heart and honesty. As painful as it is read, it is a story that needs to be shared as many readers will be, unfortunately, able to relate to Rex's experiences.

Excellent final chapter in Ogle’s memoir trilogy showing the many, many struggles Rex endured after being kicked out of his house because he’s gay. When he meets Russell and goes to see him in New Orleans, Russell lets him stay until Rex is sexually assaulted by Russell. Rex is back out on the streets homeless and hungry again. What does Rex do that turns his life around?

This was another well written memoir from Rex Ogle about his troubled early life. Road Home follows Rex through coming out, moving states in hopes of a better life, and the tragedy that is homelessness. With people in his life that protect and betray him, young Rex learns how to world kicks those who are already at their lowest.

This was well written - heartbreaking and bleak yet keeps the reader wanting to read on, to know how the author is able to survive the hardships. I read Ogle's 'Punching Bag' a couple of years ago and enjoyed it, and now I'll be seeking to check out Free Lunch to complete the memoir trilogy.
