About this ebook

In 2024, a gay youth leader was sentenced to twenty-two years in prison. I'm Fine is the story of one of his victims—and why it took him more than two decades to call the police.

In 1996, fourteen-year-old Richard Hall met a man who would change his life. What began as friendship soon led him into a world he was too young and inexperienced to understand. Bullied at school for being gay, Richard believed he had finally found acceptance—only to be drawn into a situation he didn't recognize as abuse until years later.

Told with extraordinary honesty and flashes of dark humor, I'm Fine recounts the year when a teenager's desire to belong left him vulnerable to manipulation and exploitation. It's not only the story of one boy's private ordeal, but also a stark warning about how predators can exploit trust and status within their communities.
