Coming from a small, rural town in North Carolina, Sawyer grapples with what it means to grow up queer, where the population of queer people was, to the untrained eye, non-existent. Nuanced with the societal constructs of the gender binary, they deconstruct what it means to be queer in an evangelical Southern family. From growing up being a family proclaimed “tomboy,” to joining the Army under Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, Sawyer brings you a collection of essays detailing everything from coming out, to family life to church hurt and everything in between. Candid, honest, insightful, and sometimes breathtakingly haunting, Coming Home is all about finding your queer voice in a heteronormative world. With an honest zeal for life, this set of essays will show you what it truly means to come home.

"Sawyer Cole's heart shines in this honest, raw, hopeful, and beautifully written memoir. COMING HOME is equal parts battle cry and comforting embrace; an account of deep trauma and healing, and a call to action as the queer community continues fighting for basic rights. Cole writes with incredible sensitivity, care, and love that can be felt on every page. Readers, especially those needing to hear "you are enough", welcome home."

• Courtney Kae, author of In the Event of Love

"Sawyer Cole's memoir Coming Home is such a heartfelt, personal journey through love and identity and coming-of-age. The vulnerable way they share their life's story could help so many people in claiming their own. I read it with my heart in my throat and am grateful that Cole is here and writing their experience." 

• Alicia Thompson, national bestselling author of Love in the Time of Serial Killers

“ Every so often, a memoir comes along that touches your heart, soul, and funny bone. Sawyer Cole's remarkable Coming Home asks you to think while also making you feel. Finding beauty in life's lessons can be challenging, but Cole teaches us about the incredible healing power of love. Not to be missed from this author to watch. “

• M.A. Wardell, debut author of Teacher of the Year

“Brave, beautiful, and raw. Cole leaves their soul right there on the page.”

• Shannon Jump, author of My Only Sunshine
