The tragedy of Miss Geneva Flowers

Erick Taylor, in short order, comes out of the closet, drops out of school, leaves home, and moves in with his best friend, David, a drag queen whose performance name is "Miss Chloe." Immediately star-struck, the self-indulgent, rather dim Erick vows he, too, will become a fabulous performer (under the name Miss Geneva Flowers), but his dreams are derailed by the reality of his growing addiction to crystal meth.

The Inner war

my journey from pain to peace
