(H3 Dec. 1, 2016)
After surviving being at Ground Zero on September 11, 2001, the horror that Hoyt experienced that day haunted him for months. Following the attacks, his life became a nightmare of starvation, obsession, alcoholism, and self-destruction that almost killed him before he turned twenty-six. And then, days before the first anniversary of the attacks, he’s diagnosed with a potentially fatal brain tumor.
Cake Dreams: A Memoir of Survival vividly details one man’s experience at Ground Zero on September 11, working in New York after the attacks, being a gay man with anorexia in a rehab facility in the Midwest, and undergoing brain surgery. Cake Dreams is a unique and riveting story not found in any other book.
