Born to a single mother in Dust Bowl-era Nebraska, Roy Manger learns to deny his true self from an early age.

This author is new to me and I liked his smooth style. Set in the dust bowl days of the 1920s in Nebraska, the story follows Roy, a young gay man trying to find himself.

Wow! This one is definitely not an easy book to review. When I am thinking about A Decade Of Vision, the only word that comes to mind is unusual. I mean that in a good way, though.

2016 Rainbow Awards Honorable Mention: A Decade of Visions by Cameron Ramses
1) Unusual, intriguing, very different style and narrative; beautiful in all its shadows.
2) This book feels more like gay lit than true romance – the arc is strongly related to the setting, as it relates to the development of the main character who is genderfluid, or perhaps M2F. There is a fascinating historical feel, a very interesting psychology, and some delving into the mind of a character with more than their shar ...more
