Barum Boy - Growing Up to Be Gay
In this compelling sequel to his first memoir, Bernard Hewitt invites readers back into his life with Barum Boy - Growing Up to Be Gay. Following the sudden and heartbreaking loss of his partner Bill, Bernard faced the daunting challenge of moving forward alone. Seeking solace in the open road, he purchased a camper van and embarked on a journey of healing and discovery. This journey led to new travels and relationships, ultimately bringing him another long-term partner, who became the second true love of his life. Together, they explored the world, adding rich layers to Bernard's already extraordinary story.
Now, at the age of 83, Bernard shares this heartfelt continuation of his life's journey with unflinching honesty and warmth. His memoir delves into new experiences, the profound impact of love, and the resilience of the human spirit. Through the narrative of his travels and relationships, Bernard reflects on life's unexpected turns and the enduring quest for companionship and fulfillment. His story is a testament to the power of love and the importance of embracing life's adventures, no matter where they may lead.
Bernard Hewitt, born illegitimate in 1940, faced early life challenges, including being placed in a Children's Home at two years old. Rescued by his maternal grandmother at age seven, he was eventually reunited with his mother, and despite the difficulties, his childhood was filled with moments of happiness. His first memoir detailed his life up to the age of 52. In this sequel, Bernard continues to share his journey, offering readers an intimate look at his life after loss, his adventures on the open road, and the love he found along the way.
Barum Boy - Growing Up to Be Gay is a moving and inspirational memoir that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring pursuit of love and companionship. Bernard's story is a powerful reminder that life's journey is ever-evolving, filled with opportunities for growth, new experiences, and the possibility of finding love again.
