Sweeping the Clouds Away by Michael Shepley

“Sweeping the Clouds Away” is an honest and often humorous account of growing up as a gay adolescent and teenager in the 1950s and 60s.  The author’s emotional highs and lows were complemented by spiritual lifelines he drew from America’s show-business past and its entertainments of the day.  

Accounts of his loving, complicated family, a solid friendship, and a series of remarkable opportunities are enhanced by persistent life-lessons of optimism and, in hindsight, the generous hand of a higher power.
