Black Heart Fades Blue is not an apology or a nostalgic catalog of events, but a true reckoning with one's past and present. A memoir of a time and a place and a movement, as well as a deep conversation about the memories and moments we leave behind, Black Heart Fades Blue is a deep exploration of an unconventional life.

"A rags to rags, no riches story, made gold by the absence of shame or good judgement. Jerry's story is relatable and then worse, honest and then better. A big bad boy finds a way to be a good man, and we owe him for bringing us along" ―Dan O'Mahony, musician, writer, and political activist
