Almost two years ago I read one of the most harrowing yet uplifting real-life stories ever, Gypsy Boy by Mikey Walsh.
Forget Big Fat Gypsy Weddings and everything you know about gypsy life from TV.
Read Mikey Walsh's book for the real gypsy story, for the truth about growing up as a gypsy boy, a gay gypsy boy.
Today I finished reading Mikey Walsh's follow-up book, Gypsy Boy on the Run. In fact, I've just finished it, about 5 minutes ago. I still have tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat.
