JESUS SHOES

Dripping with nostalgia Jesus Shoes chronicles author Dominick Domingo's childhood in LA's San Fernando valley. Despite being next door to Tinseltown Burbank was decidedly unromantic. This collection of memoirs takes the reader from the discovery of the author's sexual orientation in the late '70s through his time at Disney Feature his live-action filmmaking stint and subsequent writing career to the half-century mark. Its colorful characters make for a lot of laughs and life itself provides the poignancy. The story is one of self-creation in defiance of society's negative messaging and coming full circle to return to one's roots.
