Finding My Place: One Man's Journey from Cleveland to Boston and Beyond is a humorous, poignant, and eclectic trip from 1960's Cleveland to the gay mecca of Provincetown, Massachusetts--with stops in Jacksonville, Florida, and Washington, DC during President Obama's first inauguration. But Judah's Leblang's journey is an internal one, touching on universal themes: unrequited love, the search for one's place and identity, and wrestling with Father Time. This new edition includes numerous pieces broadcast on NPR stations around the United States, and published in newspapers and magazines in Boston and Cleveland and the text of Leblang's one man show about aging gracefully: "My Life in the Middle Ages."

From wearing a 'WWJD' cap around Jacksonville, Florida (assuming it was the moniker of a local radio station) to an unfortunate car accident on the first day of kindergarten, to trying to fill out a muscle T-shirt at age 51 in the gay mecca of Provincetown, Massachusetts, Judah Leblang's journey of discovery blends comedy and drama. In this episodic memoir, the author sketches the world he comes from--a world of poppyseed kuchen, Indians baseball, and the great industrial city of Cleveland, Ohio, which seemed to be imploding in the 1960's and '70's-and the world he inhabits today, as a hard of hearing man with a funny name, navigating middle age.
