Sangay Glass
In the novel Kate, Blue Jeans and a Single Shot (KBJSS), currently added as a Goodreads Giveaway, Kate is an abused woman on the run from her husband.
She finds refuge with someone completely different from herself and her husband when she meets Blue Jeans, a hustler, aka, a male prostitute.
I was a victim of marital abuse and r@pe, and so was my mother; only her husband was exceptionally violent from the start.
We both managed to escape our situations.
My mother's situation was similar to Kate's. She ran away and met my father. He was not a prostitute. But their relationship was still stigmatized.
My mother fled and hid, working as a nurse three states away from her abuser, a wealthy man, liked by everyone, a pilar of the community. She chose someone completely opposite from him.
My father, she always joked, didn't have a pot to pi$$ in and holes in his underwear when they met. He was an orderly where she worked, a nighttime musician, and a black man. My dad was also easygoing and kind.
During the time of segregation, they had a rough start.
By the time I was born, my mother had found her voice and her confidence, and she ruled the room and our household. They started a successful business and ended up on top. A true HEA.
Aside from my touches, KBSS is sort of their story. Before she died, she read the first draft of the novel and loved it.
Adding my own voice, there it is, but please read the TWs before diving in.
