Produktbeschreibung

How long can you live a lie before it breaks you?

Jerome Clarkson has spent his life in hiding-hiding from his past, his truth, and himself. Born the eldest of eight to a mother who was only 13 when she had him, Jerome grew up in a home marked by dysfunction, cruelty, and blame. Targeted, beaten, and shamed for being "different," he learned early that survival meant silence.

At nineteen, desperate to escape and prove his mother wrong, Jerome married a woman. Choosing denial over authenticity. For more than two decades, he carried the weight of a lie, building a life shaped by heartbreak, scandal, and the unbearable cost of pretending to be someone he wasn't.

Now, in this raw and unflinching memoir, Jerome opens the door to everything he kept hidden. From the trauma of childhood to the toll of conformity, Caged Pride is an intimate portrait of pain, endurance, and the search for self-acceptance when love, especially self-love, was never taught at home.

Both devastating and inspiring, Jerome's story is not just about survival, it's about breaking the cage, confronting the truth, and finally learning what it means to be free.

Autorenporträt

Hailing from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Makitia Thompson is a storyteller who dives headfirst into the human experience, examining the fragile line between triumph and tragedy, the cost of fame, the ache of abandonment, and the shadowed corners of desire. For over a decade, she has crafted fictional autobiographies and interview-style narratives that peel back the polished surfaces of her characters, revealing the truths they'd rather keep buried.

As the founder of Minds In Design, Thompson has built a creative hub dedicated to bold, boundary-pushing storytelling. Her company blends literature, visual art, and immersive world-building to challenge audiences to confront uncomfortable realities and discover self-reflection through honesty. Her oil and acrylic paintings often echo the emotional weight of her books, creating a visual bridge between her art forms.

Starting her writing journey at just 11 years old, Thompson has spent years refining her craft, always circling back to one question: How do we rise above our past to become who we were meant to be?
