Reviews:

“Paradise is what many seek, but few ever find. The Land Near Oz: Two Gay Yankees Move to New Zealand is an uplifting story of two men who find their love, and search for paradise, finding it in New Zealand...

The Land Near Oz is a poignant pick for those looking for positive and gay memoirs, highly recommended.”
