"Project Boy Next Life": Looking For Love

By: Spivey, Rann

"You can love a person deeply and sincerely whom you don't like. You can like a person passionately whom you don't love." This provocative reflection opens Project Boy Next Life: Looking For Love, a powerful urban memoir that explores one man's journey through love, lust, and personal reckoning within the Black community of 1970s and 1980s Richmond.

Told through unfiltered storytelling, this African American autobiography follows the next chapter in the life of a man raised in the projects, shaped by war, and unprepared for the complexities of marriage, fatherhood, and desire. With emotional honesty and sharp cultural insight, the author confesses to being a womanizer, a devoted provider, and a restless spirit, all while searching for meaning in real-life relationships that often blurred the lines between sex, love, and survival.

Blending themes such as love and infidelity, the challenges of adult self-discovery, and the struggle to reconcile masculinity with emotional truth, this memoir offers a male perspective that is rarely shared with such raw candor. Through experiences like marriage counseling, secret affairs, neighborhood entanglements, and moments of spiritual awakening, Project Boy Next Life becomes a thoughtful exploration of the human heart-flawed, longing, and still learning what it truly means to love.

If you are drawn to authentic, gritty memoirs that examine the emotional contradictions of modern Black manhood, this book is your next essential read.

Take the ride. Ask the questions. Reimagine what love really means.
