He seeks out the silenced voices of LGBT people, poor people, and others on the edge of Canadian history, and puts them centre page.</p><p><em>Jon Tattrie, Author of <strong>Peace by Chocolate</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>....................................................................................................................................................................</strong></em></p><p>As a Toronto boomer, <strong>Grow up, Rory Rafferty</strong> was a welcome trip to the Toronto of my youth when things seemed to be less complicated than today. Rorys story is an important one a young man struggling with his emerging sexuality and having to confront uncomfortable aspects about himself. Its not easy now and it was likely more difficult then when there were fewer role models and certainly the world was more closeted. Highly recommended!</p><p><em>Kathleen Sharpe, Founding Executive Director, <strong>Ontario Cultural Attractions Fund</strong></em></p><p><em>....................................................................................................................................................................</em></p><p>With both small-town Nova Scotia and the bustling city of Toronto as backdrops, Grow Up, Rory Rafferty explores what it is like to be inexperienced, young and Queer, and the ways people find the courage to be themselves and pursue their dreams. Well-researched and cleverly applied to the narrative, this book should be on the to-be-read list of anyone looking for a glimpse into life as a Queer Canadian in the late seventies.</p><p><em>Aren Morris, Halifax Arts Educator, and Author of <strong>We Happy Few</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>....................................................................................................................................................................</strong></em></p><p>I enjoyed reading this fun novel. As a young man coming out in downtown Toronto in the late seventies, I loved revisiting some of the hot spots of my youth. The author captures the excitement of being a young sexual outlaw in straitlaced Toronto. At the time most Toronto radio stations were rock-oriented, but the disco revolution was in full swing in the downtown clubs. The book brought back many cherished memories. The characters are engaging, and the plot moves briskly with humorous twists and surprises. A great vacation read.</p><p><em>Francisco Alvarez, Toronto-based curator and artist, and Owner of <strong>Axis Art Projects</strong></em></p><p>...................................................................................................................................................................A delicious book. The sense of place, of youth, and of the friendships of our youth swept me away. The Toronto of old comes alive vividly. The excitement and horrible uncertainties of being young in a big city worked. The sexual coming out narrative was sensitively written. (And I loved the hateful hypocrites!)</p><p><em><strong>Nancy L.
