Misfit, outcast, loner. Call him anything but a victim. Sissy, fairy, Jenny Woman. Son of a mixed-race Holy Ghost mother and a Cajun French phantom father. In a series of tough and tender stories, he encounters gender outlaws, drag queen renegades, and a rogues gallery of sex-starved priests, perverted teachers, and murderous bar owners. To escape his haunted history, Boo must shed his old skin and make a new self. As he does, his story rises from dark and murk, from moss and mud, to reach a new light and a new brand of fairy tale. Cajun legends, queer fantasies, and universal myths converge into a powerful work of counter-realism. \u003ci\u003eBlack Sheep Boy\u003c\/i\u003e is a song of passion and a novel of defiance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rare Bird Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47052381487344,"sku":"9781942600374","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781942600374_p0.jpg?v=1763757984","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781942600374","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
