CALIFORNICATION: Memoirs of Innocence Lost Book II

by Ferron P. Wiley

CALIFORNICATION is a journey into the young adult life of an LGBTQ Black male in the late 80's & 90's as he explores his sexuality and questions his faith. CALIFORNICATION tells the continuing real-life story of Ferron Wiley's battles with self-loathing and addiction in the aftermath of dealing with childhood sexual abuse at the hands of clergy. All while maturing in the backdrop of Los Angels California's many lures and facades of the promised "good life." An emotional rollercoaster ride of self-discovery and reflection that connects humanity in unexpected ways. A story of a quest for love from anywhere it could possibly be found and the pain of loss and trials that come with never giving up and sometimes having to start over again and again. It is book two in the compelling and delightful series Memoirs of Innocence Lost giving you the reader a front-row seat to the tragic secrets, life struggles and triumphs amidst an arduous gay averse and racially charged Rodney King riot and OJ Simpson trial era.
