This short memoir is about the first 21 years of author, writer, and filmmaker Waide Riddle's life. Introducing the reader to the main players of his immediate family, exposing the bullies in his life, and exposing the bully in himself. Raised in Houston, Texas, he credits much of his inspiration for writing to the years in his childhood neighborhood spent in Spring Shadows in Spring Branch. His grade school years in the 1960s and 1970s were a horrible nightmare. Being a young Gay kid in Texas was dangerous, yet he found escape in music, dancing, and writing letters to movie stars in Hollywood. He stresses the violent assaults in school and being spit on every day, for years, impacted him deeply and still haunts his dreams.\u003cbr\u003eHe honors his heroes, Jimmy Daniels and Casey Savarese, celebrates his coming out in the Houston Gay dance scene, and pays homage to the \u003ci\u003eFabulous Four Drag Show\u003c\/i\u003e at the \u003ci\u003eCopa Disco\u003c\/i\u003e in the early '80s.'\u003cbr\u003eHe does not paint a picture of himself as a victim or victimized, but rather as a person in a \u003ci\u003ecircumstance\u003c\/i\u003e.
