One Thing for Certain, Two Things for Sure reminds us that there are no mistakes or accidents in life—that everything happens as it should. Stewart allows us, the reader, an intimate look into his personal life through stories that center on dating, love, fear, fate and destiny.
Stewart returns with the long awaited sequel, One Thing for Certain, Two Things for Sure, a memoir continued. His groundbreaking debut memoir, Words Never Spoken transcended race, gender and sexuality. Dubbed a literary piece of artwork, Words Never Spoken gave voice to men and women who are conflicted sexually, and frustrated by the complexities of being gay, bisexual or trans.
“I promised myself years ago that I wouldn’t be the kind of writer who puts out a project because people want to hear more from me. Rather, I’d be the kind of artist that only puts out a work because I have something to say, and I’ve kept that promise. I hope my story, these words, will help navigate the lives of men and women everywhere.” —Craig Stewart
Craig the writer Stewart is an inspiration to the community
This memoir has opened my eyes to the true issues with relationships within gay and straight communities. I never realized how hard it is for gay men to maintain good healthy relationship because of their individual struggles with just being gay. Craig digs deep into his relationship with Rocky to help us all understand that you have to heal your mind before you can truly express your feelings. I commend Craig for being so open with his past experiences and letting us know there is hope as long as you come to terms with one's self.
A nice follow-up to the author's first memoir Words Never Spoken, this picks up with Craig beginning his next chapter of life in Los Angeles. I must admit I was taken aback by how long he lived in Los Angeles. This section (couple chapters) literally comes and goes. I read them twice because I thought I missed something. I follow him on social media and just assumed that he lived there for years before returning to Atlanta. Anyway, this book focuses more on his personal growth and maturity as well as his relationship with Rocky which definitely tests the lessons he has learned.
Some very good thoughts and insight into gay men and dating. I wanted more of that. There were moments when things came to an abrupt end, and I wasn't sure why that happened
