Welsh-language translation of The Journey is Home. In this clear
and absorbing memoir John Sam Jones writes of a life lived on the
edge. It's a story of journeys and realisation, of acceptance and
joy. From a boyhood on the coast of Wales to a traumatic period as
an undergraduate in Aberystwyth, and on to a scholarship at Berkley
on the San Francisco Bay as the AIDS epidemic began to take hold,
before returning to Liverpool and north Wales to work in
chaplaincy, education, and sexual health. A journey of becoming a
writer and chronicler of his experiences with award-winning books
and the somewhat reluctant compulsion 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, whom he had married after a long partnership. Just
days after European Referendum they put the business on the
market... and then moved to Germany. John is still on that journey.
