J Patrick Redmond’s Some Go Hungry is now available for pre-order!

Some Go Hungry is a fictional account drawn from the author’s own experiences working in his family’s provincial Indiana restaurant–and wrestling with his sexual orientation–in a town that was rocked by the scandalous murder of his gay high school classmate in the 1980s.

Now a young man who has embraced his sexuality, Grey Daniels returns from Miami Beach, Florida, to Fort Sackville, Indiana, to run Daniels’ Family Buffet for his ailing father. Understanding that knowledge of his sexuality may reap disastrous results on his family’s half-century-old restaurant legacy–a popular Sunday dinner spot for the after-church crowd–Grey struggles to live his authentic, openly gay life. He is put to the test when his former high school lover–and fellow classmate of the murdered student–returns to town as the youth pastor and choir director of the local fundamentalist Christian church.

Some Go Hungry is the story of a young gay man forced to choose between the happiness of others and his own joy, all the while realizing that compromising oneself–sacrificing your soul for the sake of others–is not living, but death.
