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.
