Book cover design and photography and portrait photography by Annie Eggleston.

His debut memoir reflecting on his story of Antwaun Gay writes powerfully about his secret life as Marvin Gaye’s brother, the family trauma that changed his life, and the addictions that held him captive for years.

In When a Man Exhales, Antwaun shares the difficulties of being a black youth longing for the love of family while seeking admiration through dancing, singing and basketball.

He opens up about overcoming doubt, insecurities, and family trauma and then provides hope to others who walk a similar journey of brokenness in their lives.

When a Man Exhales is a must read for those who are desperate and ready to find purpose and understand that hope and transformation are possible!
