I Am Always With You.......2003-09-27

Broken about his sexuality and his spirituality, Jefferson Daniels is a man living on the edge. In the closet, out of the closet, losing his faith and gaining it back again is the prose of WHEN A MAN IS BROKEN by Kevin D. Mason.

Literally running from Atlanta to Maryland to start anew, Jefferson goes into business with his best friend Keevar and meets and marries Maya with the hope of putting his demons to rest. When Jefferson attends a fraternity convention in Atlanta, his past comes back full force. He struggles with who he is versus who he wants to be. He also struggles with his spirituality, often questioning God and the heavy load that he must contend with. The most telling chapter is "My Present Begins With My Past." Jefferson highlights his life as a child in Philadelphia in an attempt for him to understand why and how he came to be.

Throughout the book are powerful poems and prayers that Jefferson writes and recites in an attempt to rectify his current situation. Secondary characters in the form of his mother and his best friend Evelyn are highlighted in an honest and unforgettable manner.

WHEN A MAN IS BROKEN focuses on subject matters that some may find disturbing, while others may find that they are subjects that should be discussed more often. Whatever your take, this is a dramatic, powerful and emotional read.

A Great Job!.......2003-07-16

The story examines the taboos of homosexuality and spiritually. Most African-American families do not address this issue they choose to ignore or disown the family member. That is why many men get married and live their life in the dark. As a gay man myself I too have this struggle and can relate to the plight of Jefferson Daniels. I commend Mr. Mason on telling his story and congratulate him on winning his battle! To anyone experiencing the struggle this is a MUST READ...the author expounds on GOD'S love and his power to change your life but first we must wait and "be still". A Plot Twisting Page Turner!

I've just finished this book and could not put it down it was a page turner. This is a new author but he has a feel like E. Lynn Harris however he develpos his own style and goes to a new level of exploring gender issues. The main character Jefferson Daniels is a married man that goes to his fraternity convention and is faced with his deep personal struggle of his same sex, sexual struggle. He meets a man named Adonis who he finds very attractive. All the while Jefferson is dealing with his spirituality and how the world views the desires he has had since childhood. This author explores the relationship with religion and homosexuality, friendship, and heterosexual marraige. The book has twist and turns in it, and is based on true to life stuff. The world better whatch out for this brother. Get your copy today!
