FYI
Recently we read a book on our Kindle which both amused and moved us. It is available on Amazon - link below. It is not suitable for younger readers and, as it is a story with a gay theme, it will not be of interest to everyone.
It has now also been published in Paperback form.
Why not try it?
"Street Kid: A Rent Boy's Tale" by Ned Williams.
'Sexually abused by his father and barely tolerated by his mother, Steven vows revenge but “because I couldn’t take it out on my father directly, I knew that it would have to be with someone else. It would be some poor, unsuspecting sucker who would have to shoulder the responsibility of my father’s licentiousness. This whole dilemma became my obsession.” So, 13 year old Steven took his first tentative steps as a rent boy in an English provincial city. Taken in hand by Andy, Steven is inducted into the local gay rent scene by a tight knit coterie of lads who provide the care and security denied to him at home. Juggling the demands of the racks, school, home and his obsession with art, Steven embarks on a journey which would bring pain, laughter, sadness and anguish as well as discovering the value of friendship, and what monsters some people could be.' (Quote from Amazon) This blurb makes it sound a depressing book - but there are many extended passages of humour.

Latest Review: "At last, a good long interesting read; I am so tired of "books" on Kindle that are really only short stories. Carl, in his teens, is an interesting character. I enjoyed the storytelling. Fiction? Fact? - who cares, the characters were drawn on the page extremely well, and there were so many of them that every now and then I had to stop reading and think who was who. But I guess during teenage years, a young man accumulates a vast number of friends from all areas of his life, so the cast of thousands didn't worry me all that much. The book was well-written, with a casual easy flow to it, with good dialogue and structure. I was surprised how such a young lad could fall so quickly into such a rent boy lifestyle - I guess it was the era/times. The author is very good at getting into a character's personality. The pictures painted of his mother, Marti, Andy, Sheba, Mickey, Roger, and many (many) more were extremely well-done. The book was well-worth the money."
