Kissed by the Sun: Growing Up with Alopecia

Kissed by the Sun is Troy Griffith's debut memoir about self-acceptance. At the tender age of fourteen, adversity strikes and shatters his entire life. How does he deal with that adversity? Does he accept it? Does he reject it? How does he cope with other adolescents who are insensitive to him being different? After his misfortune, does he continue with his normal social life? Or does he, like a turtle threatened by the outside world, go into a shell? Kissed by the Sun answers those questions, and more. In this story, Troy eloquently brings you on his youthful journey. A ride from his happy childhood reality, to an unfortunate happening, to a decision that changed his life forever, to a dramatic challenge and final conflict, and lastly, to his new reality. Written with compassion and sincerity, Kissed by the Sun will have you cheering for Troy and touch your heart.
