Privilege Interrupted: My Brother's Keeper - Hardcover

by Louis A. Fazio (Author), Matthias J. Mahoney (With)

Born into comfort but shaped by adversity, Privilege Interrupted: My Brother's Keeper is a powerful, unflinching memoir about resilience, identity, and the cost-and responsibility-of compassion.

Louis A. Fazio, Jr. grew up navigating a world not built for him. Living with cerebral palsy, he faced institutionalization, family conflict, systemic barriers, and the isolating realities of being both disabled and gay. Yet his story is not one of limitation-it is one of perseverance, advocacy, and hard-won independence.

Co-authored with Matthias J. Mahoney, this deeply human narrative explores caregiving, faith, chosen family, and the transformative power of allyship. Through education battles, professional setbacks, love, loss, and enduring friendship, Louis reclaims agency and purpose in a society still learning what inclusion truly means.

Timely and deeply relevant, Privilege Interrupted speaks to readers passionate about disability rights, social justice, LGBTQ+ stories, and authentic memoirs that challenge assumptions-and call us to do better.
