You Will Love It!

Brother to Brother is an outstanding collection of stories. Anyone (gay or not) can relate to the akwardness of a first kiss or frustration with the "single club scene". These are some of the themes in Brother to Brother. In San Francisco there is a theatre show called "Up Jumped Springtime" that puts some of the stories from this book on stage. Three fine actors do justice to every word. Neither the book nor the show are to be missed. Both are engageing, sexy and will have you in the floor laughing!

Helps to bridge the gap to understanding

I am a white gay man who dates black men exclusively. This book is a beautiful insight to one of the most oppressed and misunderstood segements of American society. With the knowledge and insight I have gained from reading this book, I feel I am better able to please my men.
