When Deshawn hears news of his uncle's death, his riotous big-city
life in San Francisco is abruptly put on hold while he travels back
to his Alabama hometown for the funeral. While there, he's hit by
flashbacks of growing up queer and black in the '80s South, of a
youth filled with strong women, bewildered boys, and messed up
queers. Wading through prickly reminders of his childhood, of
sweltering Sundays, church, family, and the men he once knew,
Deshawn reconnects with his old self and the ghosts of his past. A
raw, dirty, hilarious, and heart-breaking novel about the
experiences that shape us, Since I Laid My Burden Down asks the
intimate question: who deserves love?
