I've Got Love For You

What happens when the love you desperately need arrives in a language you don't yet know how to speak? Born into the suffocating shadow of a narcissistic mother, the author spent decades running from the ghosts of a trauma-formed childhood. The defense mechanism was simple: stay overwhelmingly, exhaustively busy by running a youth nonprofit organization, working in the school systems, raising four children, and never, ever sitting still long enough for the past to catch up. >In this raw, deeply visceral LGBTQ+ memory of events, I've Got Love For You strips away the superficial labels of modern romance to expose the true, multi-faceted architecture of devotion. Wheezy isn't a flawless savior; she carries her own heavy catalog of scars. Yet, for over twelve years, she steps entirely into the wreckage. She becomes a grounding father figure to three young boys, a legendary chef feeding the soul of a neighborhood, and the fierce maternal anchor that heals a lifetime of maternal abuse. Moving from the gritty, bumpy streets of Detroit to the quiet luxury of downtown hotel pools, this book is an intimate, unapologetic look at how true love actually shows up in the trenches of real life. It is a powerful testament to the fact that everyone loves to their own unique ability, and a beautiful, heart-wrenching guide on how to finally recognize, accept, and say thank you to the anchors who refuse to let us drift away.
