E. Lynn Harris is a phenomenal author who speaks his truth. To be bold enough to be transparent with the world is impressive. Most live in secrecy. But he chose to put his feelings/ perspective on paper. To read each word took me through each emotion. May he Rest In Peace. Thanks for sharing your gift with the world. Thanks for having the courage and faith to make your dream come true and share it with the world. May it inspire many.
