Summary:
In His Salty, Laugh-out-Loud Memoir, gay and precocious Kirk Read will show you how it's done. Read comes of age in Pat Robertson's hometown as the youngest son in a large military family. Even at his most rebellious, he keeps both his tart sense of humor and dignity intact while embracing sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll. How I Learned to Snap is as much a hilarious call to action as it is a touching call to acceptance.
