Promising to be among the best LGBTQ literature of our time, Borderless is a beautiful five-year memoir, unconventional in both style and narrative, of many interlaced stories that detail the struggles against society and its constructs, explore the concept of borders and what binds us, and how the micro mirrors the macro. When Jackie, a diehard free spirit, comes out to a man she married too young, he disappears and leaves her married for a year while not knowing where he is. She packs her car and starts driving, picking up strangers off craigslist. What follows is a story that one will not soon forget.
Editors' Notes: "There aren't too many books where I find myself engrossed in the writing itself, regardless of the story. The depth, the phrasing, the intensity of feeling are all so compelling, particularly toward the end where the 'revelation' has finally reached you and you come full circle. You're in a league with, in my opinion, a rare breed of writers who live outside the wire, with a raw quality that strips life bare for the rest of us who don't have the courage to do the same."
"Thank you for sharing this story. It has been a blessing."
