Official synopsis Publisher
As the two main characters learn about each other through anecdotes and stories, younger readers will learn, and older readers will re-live, a time in our history before rainbow flags and gay pride parades. The story has conflict and drama, but generally there are more subtle curves than sharp angles. Despite the problems the characters encounter, including coming out to adult children and discovering and fighting breast cancer, they grow together, and the story ends on a high powerful note. I am sixty seven years old and I live between homes in France and Florida with my partner of twenty three years. We share the challenges and adventures of living abroad, traveling, and athletic endeavors with our two yellow Labrador Retrievers.
