  “The way to reach God’s will is to go through life's trials & struggles. It means that to achieve any sort of heavenly state we must be tested. We 
  are guaranteed to fail some of those tests. That's ok as long as we learn from them and find the strength to continue traveling the road. We 
  become stronger by overcoming our failures and ultimately find the strength to reach our destination.” 
  “Larry is a modern-day crusader, The Larry Ray Hardin that you will see in much of this book is a younger, angrier version than the one I came 
  to know in San Diego. What makes Larry’s journey great is not just that he refused to be lured in by corruption as he walked the path through 
  hell. What makes it great is that he learned from his failures along the way, replaced anger with wisdom, and continued to walk the road to 
  heaven.”

  Sex, death, nature, and the "feminine": an autofiction romance in four acts.

  A powerful, provocative, and genre-bending literary memoir that grapples with victimhood, recovery, and resilience 
    
  In the before, Jesse James Rose is happy. She has a beautiful boyfriend with melty glacier eyes, she’s on a euphoric journey of gender exploration, and New York City is perfect. In the after, she’s single, making dinner for her grandfather, and wondering if he’s going to forget her name today. Except, in the before, her first-grade music teacher lead her into a dark room to show her something he shouldn’t have. And in the after, she’s finding healing and comfort in coming into her own, even as her grandfather declines. 
    
  In the before, she was fine, more or less. But in the after, she has to reckon with whatever the hell restorative justice really, truly means. 
    
  Following the aftermath of an assault, and the heartache of caring for a grandfather with Alzheimer’s, sorry i keep crying during sex tells a captivating story of identity, recovery, grief, survivorship, and transness. Through lists, theatrical scripts, flashbacks, and Grindr DMs, Jesse James Rose’s genre-defying memoir is raw and hysterically funny, and takes readers on the wild ride of overcoming the struggles of a trans twentysomething. 
    
  “A visceral, raw portrayal of trans and queer life, sorry i keep crying during sex will have you holding on for dear life. This book doesn't pull a single punch. Jesse Rose writes with exactly the type of tender, aggressive, in-your-face narrative gumption we need right now. Don't call it a debut: bitch, it's an arrival.”—Jacob Tobia, author of Before They Were Men and Sissy
