Tramps like us A novel
Book - 2025
Tramps Like Us by Joe Westmoreland is a raw, autobiographical novel tracing Joe's journey from an abusive childhood in Kansas City to the hedonistic queer scenes of New Orleans and San Francisco in the 1970s and early '80s. Alongside fellow outcast Ali, Joe seeks freedom, identity, and belonging amid sex, drugs, music, and chosen family. As the AIDS crisis looms, their vibrant world darkens, but the story endures as a heartfelt tribute to friendship, resilience, and a nearly lost generation.
