When actor Leslie Jordan learned he had "gone viral," he had no idea what that meant or how much his life was about to change. Now, he brings his bon vivance to the page with this collection of intimate and sassy essays. A Southern Baptist celebutante, first-rate raconteur, Emmy Award-winner, and keen observer of the odd side of life, Jordan had no idea how much his life would change when he "went viral." Here Jordan tells stories that make us laugh and lift our spirits even in the darkest days. Whether he is writing about his brush with a group of ruffians in a West Hollywood Starbucks, or an unexpected phone call from legendary Hollywood start Debbie Reynolds, each story reflects his fresh and saucy humor and pure heart. -- adapted from jacket
