Description
Roam: A Search for Happiness is a deeply personal and unflinchingly honest memoir about defying death and learning to live. Born into a working-class family in London, Juno Roche's life was marked by violence, addiction, and the struggle to survive.
Diagnosed with HIV at university, Juno's journey took a dramatic turn as they navigated the challenges of living with a terminal illness and the darkness of serious drug addiction. Yet, through it all, they found a way to stay alive and create art that would become a testament to their resilience.
This powerful memoir is a story about finding family, healing, and the human spirit's capacity to persevere in the face of adversity. With courage and vulnerability, Juno shares their story, offering a unique perspective on what it means to stay alive.
