What is this Book About?

All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts…

Carol Sherman-Jones' life would make a spectacular stage production, so many are the roles she has played and the other characters so flamboyantly colorful. She understands the true meaning behind Shakespeare's quote, that we do not play to an empty auditorium, but rather our audience is comprised of everyone we encounter throughout every day of our existence. And, oh, the people she'sencountered!

All her life, the author craved acceptance-craved even to the extent of self-mutilation for the attention it brought her. Whenever she did receive acceptance, however, she considered herself unworthy of it. As a result, she bounced from one bad relationship to another, all the while her sense of self-worth was further battered and ignored. From wrestling a midget in lime Jell-O to a touching, last-minute reconciliation with her father, her story of growth and self-discovery is both hilarious and poignant.

Through laughter and tears, the author shares how she bought a rundown bar in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, for a buck and turned it into a microcosm of a utopian world where everyone was welcome and accepted without prejudice, herself included. For years, Carol's Corner Café was the heart of the Queen City's gay community and it was there that she learned to finally love and respect herself.

Carol Sherman-Jones' life story is a message of inspiration and tolerance for all of us.
