35 CENTS
Matty Lee

35 Cents is the story of a straight, young, white boy growing up and coming of age as he hustles his way both through the gay community and the juvenile-detention system of South Florida in the late 1980s. It’s also the amount he made when he turned his first trick at 13.

“My book is not asking you to feel sorry for me because of my sordid past, but rather asking you to rethink sordid pasts altogether. I thought about calling it Raised by Queens but I will stick to 35 Cents. It’s about how the things that other people might consider abusive or scary turned out to be the very things that saved my life. It’s about how gay men helped to raise and nurture an otherwise unloved and ignored straight kid. And although my childhood was not always rosy I wouldn’t trade it for any other.”
