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 inAberystwyth, and on to a scholarship at Berkley on the San Francisco Bay as the AIDSepidemic began to take hold before returning to Liverpool and north Wales to work inchaplaincy, education and sexual health. A journey of becoming a writer and chroniclerof his experiences with award-winning books and the somewhat reluctant compulsionto become a campaigner for LGBT rights in Wales. The adventure of running a guesthouse in Barmouth where he eventually became Mayor with his husband, a Germanacademic, whom he had married after a long partnership.Just days after European Referendum they put the business on the market... and thenmoved to Germany. John is still on that journey.
