In this bucket-list fulfilling memoir of a life beyond the glass closet, Spencer Jones-Messenger shares his stories and lessons learned on his journey from a closeted small-town boy in Northeast Ohio to married life together with his husband Derek, (still in Northeast Ohio though, some things never change). Piece by Piece offers a glimpse into his time growing up in a rural small-town set in tradition; his struggles with identity, acceptance, and coming out over many years; and the decision to live his true authentic life, finding support in family and friends, and even love, through a modern-day twist of fate.
