We All Wear Masks: A Memoir (Paperback)

Nick was sexually abused for the first time at age thirteen. In the years to follow he would regularly smoke pot, dabble in psychedelics, and free fall into the world of male prostitution. Now he finds himself in yet another toxic relationship that mirrors everything he ran away from back home, except this time things are getting worse as his sense of control dwindles with each passing day. In a voice that is raw and honest, Nick holds nothing back in telling us the soul crushing story of his relapse and the inner workings of a child of neglect. As we watch him dive into all aspects of addiction and a malformed relationship to sex, he paints for us a picture of a person at odds with his past and with the world around him. It's a bleak and haunting story that leaves us with no choice but to look inward.
