About

---

​            Randy is a boy with a very troubled childhood craving to find out who he is in this world. ​ You will snicker and weep reading the many diverse types of circumstances he has faced.
​
     “His story begins with explosive accounts of a severely alcoholic mother and a pushover father in a large family with two brothers and two sisters. He ends up in an orphanage alone at the age of four after an event so traumatic that his mind erases it completely. Boucher begins to suspect that he is gay in his early elementary school years around the same time that his family becomes Jehovah's Witnesses. His religion teaches that homosexuality is a sin, and he tried desperately for years to fight it and pray it away. Randy eventually comes out at age 23 after marrying a woman and having a son. You will sense his pain as he describes the heart-wrenching anguish of coming out as a gay man, and how it’s one of the toughest things he has ever done.  Once out and divorced, he is deserted by his church and most of his family, and Randy goes on to have a series of very unfaithful and somewhat volatile relationships with men. As a career machinist, he experiences persistent bigotry from his coworkers and wrongful termination by his bosses. He struggles greatly throughout his entire life but shows considerable strength and character.”  Mr. Boucher uses witty humor along with some offensive language describing troubling events.

             This journey was a voyage that Randy had to make.  A trip to let go of his past, and more valuable, to find the ability to forgive. Only then was he able to find contentment.  That’s when he started to live.
