AUSTRALIA/NZ RELEASE - Come Undone by Xavier James - paperback
Come Undone tells my story of grappling with self-acceptance in a world that runs on comparison, yet craves social conformity. Presented through the eyes of a digital native, the grass is always greener because we edit it to be greener.
Sexuality uncertainty, parental divorce, mental health battles, religious freedom, marriage equality, coming of age, sexual assault, and young love that is forbidden to shine must be navigated to unlearn who I was taught and wanted to be, and embark on the terrifying journey to discover who I authentically am.
Will insecurities be stared down?
Will the voice inside overcome the crowds?
Will the thirst for validity ever be quenched?
Will the world end, because a boy wore pearls?
And will my suffocating uncertainty ever be answered:
When will I be free?
