My Memory Told Me a Secret by Jeremy C Bradley-Silverio Donato

 My Memory Told Me a Secret by Jeremy C Bradley-Silverio Donato

An astounding work of contemporary fiction, My Memory Told Me a Secret focuses on issues core to LGBTQ identity, but also issues that affect every reader. Austin and Noah’s relationship is a heartfelt and sometimes harrowing account that will be relatable to anyone in a relationship, as each character and each moment is so well-drawn. Far from being a mere issue-laden novel, it touches on universal issues such as the devastation of illness, broken friendships, and how people tend to show or lose their humanity in times of crisis, written with great empathy and keen observation.

A downed Soviet spycraft bearing three mysterious […]
