Just Tryin' To Be Loved

by J'son M. Lee

Overview

It has taken almost two years for Mark to put the pieces of his shattered life back together following a devastating breakup with his first love, Tony. Determined to never allow anyone to hurt him again, Mark becomes a recluse and throws himself into his career. Confronted with the demons of his past and a yearning to be loved, Mark soon finds his life spiraling out of control.

Charismatic real estate executive, Jared Muse, knows that Mark is still healing and is resigned to give him all the time and space he needs; that is, until Tony re-enters Mark's life with hopes of reconciling.

After a while of dating both gentlemen, Mark makes his decision. Unfortunately, this is when his nightmare begins. Hell also hath no fury like a MAN scorned!

Davis.

In addition to books, Lee wrote, produced and starred in his own one-man show entitled One Family's AIDS. This one-man show, told from four different perspectives, is the story of Gene Alexander McCoy - a young, educated African-American man who finds himself in a race for time to make peace with his family and with God upon being diagnosed with HIV. The play chronicles Gene's life as he confronts such issues as HIV/AIDS, family, abandonment and homophobia. With the help of his over-bearing mother, a nurturing grandmother, and an uncle who doesn't really feel comfortable talking about Gene's sexuality or disease, we learn the complexities of love and relationships, the damaging results of fear and shame, and how the relentless quest for the truth ultimately leads us back to each other.
