A Normal Person Doing Normal Things

How do you find yourself when you've been given the wrong directions? Jason is a backwoods boy with problems. Being gay in Alabama is hard enough, but God hates him and one of his classmates wants him dead. He dreams of escaping to California, but life sends him on an unexpected detour to Alaska first. This witty, unflinchingly candid memoir steps into his uncomfortable shoes as he grows up and tries to find himself in the sinful world of sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll, and love.
He travels from Alabama to Alaska to California and back, before realizing he might've been looking for the wrong person. A Normal Person Doing Normal Things is ultimately an exploration of identity, freedom, and what it means to be a human.
