Finding Jorge

By: Jorge L. S. II

While avoiding conflicts with his abusive father, young Jorge also had to contemplate his emerging feelings for other boys. After dropping outo f high school, Jorge’s word consisted of partying, drugs, and engaging in petty theft. A frightening credit card faud investigation scared him out of crime for good – but without his family’s approval, he was still a lost soul. Realizing that his own father would never provide the love and support he needed, Jorge develops a relationship with an older man whose guidance proves to be invaluable.

Both heartbreaking and inspirational, Finding Jorge is a coming-of-age story about recognition, forgiveness, and self-discovery. This is a glimpse into the childhood and early adulthood of a young gay man, whose acute resiliency led him to a purposeful life. It is a story of heartbreak, acceptance, and how one man seized opportunity to beat the odds and put himself on a path for success and happiness.
