About the Author
Paul Bradford's youth was scarred by poverty, an alcoholic and physically abusive father, and his mother's death when he was nine. After his father abandoned him, Paul came of age while living in five foster homes. He served his country in the Army, where he was severely wounded in the Vietnam War and earned the Purple Heart and a Bronze Star for Heroism. Although he battled an internal conflict most of his life about his sexual orientation, Paul built a flourishing life with his wife and two children and became a successful businessman. His fate drastically changed after he committed his one and only crime, which led to a five-year prison sentence and ten years' probation. His 43-year marriage collapsed, and his children turned against him. No one would give him a job, and he became destitute and homeless. He is 77 years young and lives in Austin, Texas.
