Publisher's Summary

Event producer, music director, and community organizer Elaina Martin has over the past three decades become widely known in Eastern Ontario, bolstering queer representation, community sustainability, and the arts.

In this soulful narrative, she shares how she grew into these roles and what she learned along the way. Her descriptions of the eras, personalities, and local cultures she has known so intimately convey not only the life of one butch, queer musician and writer, but also explore the meanings of tragedy, resilience, queer life, contention, forgiveness, and family.

From being abused and eventually outed in her Northern Ontario town, to singing and partying her way through the best and worst of Ottawa’s gay venues at the height of 1990s decadence, to ultimately finding harmony and love, her story will break your heart and ignite your spirit.

Elaina’s story is a must read!

This book will make you laugh and cry. Her insights about some of the harder experiences are both relatable, deep and thought provoking. Can’t wait to read the sequel!

Loved it!

I absolutely loved it! It was extra special that it was read by the author! I could so picture all of the things that were talked about and the experiences portrayed! It was so fun to think that I was there at a lot of the hunts and maybe even some of the events!!! Excellent! I want more!!!!!
