In 2ND TIME AROUND, James Earl Hardy continues the "seriously sexy, fiercely funny, black-on-black love story' between Raheim and Mitchell, whom readers first met in B-BOY BLUES. As Raheim struggles with being in love with another man for the first time, he must also juggle newfound fame as a model, come to terms with the murder of his homeboy, care for his five-year-old son, and confront his father — who returns home after sixteen years. How does Raheim handle all of these pressures and responsibilities? With the help, passion, and patience of the man he loves.
With 2ND TIME AROUND, his second “afrocentric” gay hip-hop novel, James Earl Hardy expands his exploration of issues such as racism, self-hatred, classism, and masculinity — and tells a powerful story for those who want to laugh and cry out loud.
