"Vienna Love" is a raw, unflinching journey through memory, heartbreak, resilience, and self-discovery-from the hills of Kentucky to the hidden corners of postwar Austria.

Ryan Barger grew up dirt-poor in a two-room log house with no electricity, no running water, and no idea he was different-until he moved to the city and found out just how much. From the haunting echoes of war that broke his father, to the painful lessons of childhood and the bittersweet education in love, lust, and survival, Ryan's story is brutally honest, unapologetically real, and laced with moments of unexpected beauty.

This isn't a polished autobiography. It's a "glorified version" of a life full of hard truths, half-remembered feelings, and scenes that are as ugly as they are unforgettable. It's about the pain of first love, the sting of rejection, and the redemption found in music, martial arts, and a chance encounter in a Viennese club.

At times tender, often heart-wrenching, and always honest, Vienna Love is a powerful coming-of-age story that refuses to shy away from the messiness of being human.
