That Is What We Are

What happens when you just don’t want to say goodbye? But sometimes in life, you have to lose everything to find out what you actually need. ‘That Is What We Are’ is the sequel to Max Austin's raw and emotional bio-fictional memoir, 'How Can We Be Wrong?'

With breathtaking honesty, this book continues to capture the truth of the LBGTQIA+ experience set against the backdrop of changing hospital life and wider society. Something is eating away at Max but he can't quite put his finger on what it is. Why on earth can’t he just be happy for once? He’s guilty that his navy blue nurse's uniform feels more like a straitjacket every time he puts it on. But what next? And more to the point, will he dare to tell anyone how he feels? Many of his motley crew return to navigate the twists and turns of life. Our friends are joined by new people along the way to help them learn to be the best that they can be; no matter how much it hurts in the process.
