About the Book

Roughhouse Friday is a memoir by Jaed Coffin that explores the complexities of growing up in a small town, coming to terms with one's sexuality, and finding one's place in the world.

Coffin was born and raised in a small town in the Midwest. He was a shy and introverted child, and he often felt like an outsider. As he got older, he began to realize that he was attracted to men. This realization was both exciting and terrifying, and Coffin struggled to come to terms with his sexuality.

After graduating from high school, Coffin moved to the city. He hoped to find a community of people who would accept him for who he was. However, he soon found that the city was just as unwelcoming as his hometown. Coffin struggled to find work, and he often felt isolated and alone.

One day, Coffin met a man named Jack. Jack was a drag queen, and he was everything that Coffin had ever wanted to be: confident, outgoing, and unapologetically himself. Jack took Coffin under his wing, and he helped him to come to terms with his sexuality and to find his place in the world.

Roughhouse Friday is a moving and honest memoir about the challenges and triumphs of growing up gay in America. Coffin's writing is raw and unflinching, and he does not shy away from the difficult moments in his life.

However, Roughhouse Friday is also a story of hope and resilience. Coffin's journey is one of self-acceptance and self-discovery, and he ultimately finds the strength to be himself.
