Broken Boy
As a child, Jerry always knew he was different. Like a lot of kids growing up in the projects, Jerry was raised in a single-parent home with little to no guidance on how to navigate the tumultuous waters of poverty, self-identity, and sexuality. It wasn't until he found himself in an incestuous relationship that Jerry realized how different he really was. "Broken Boy" is a fictional account (based on facts) of a young boy turned young man and his journey through a life of alcoholism, drug abuse and homosexuality. Through it all, he maintains his spirituality, which was instilled in him at an early age by his mother. This poignant tale, woven with threads of truth, offers a raw and unflinching exploration of one individual's struggle to find his place in a world filled with cruel prejudices but also unconditional love.
