Tell Me What You Want

Life is finally flourishing-good time to toss in a grenade!

Professor Jasper Trueblood is serious about being an adult. He has a fianc, a new car, a teaching gig at a nearby community college-and he's happier than he's been since his mother died a decade earlier. Still, something is amiss. Even when life is brimming with possibilities and he's riding a winning streak, Jasper's subconscious fear of success inspires self-sabotage.

In the blink of an eye, Jasper finds himself drug addled, locked up in county jail, and for the first time in years, on his knees in prayer, hoping for a miracle. What the hell happened?

Through a wild twist of fate, Jasper meets his rescuer-and she is the least likely person imaginable. This second installment of The Trueblood Trilogy is a search for purpose, but also an avant-garde love story, a literary exploration into sexuality and race, and a novel about forgiveness-especially forgiving oneself.
