This extraordinary memoir points the finger at institutional America, pulling focus to not those who are able to rise above oppression but to those who are left behind. Casey Gerald grew up gay in Dallas with parents who were struggling with addiction. But despite the odds, he attended an Ivy League school and rose through societies ranks all the way to Washington DC. But despite attaining the American dream Gerald reveals to readers the dark underbelly of American institutionalism. He discovers that success stories are a part of a plan to keep other minorities from rising to the top. Readers will be drawn in by Gerald’s sly humour and quiet furry at exclusive America.
