I’d like to dedicate this novel to all the boys and girls who go through their childhood feeling different, being bullied and wondering if their families would love them if they knew who they were.  Our society is cruel to children who don’t meet the expectations of what we’ve all been raised to consider ‘normal.’  

In my life I’ve gone from being told I wasn’t insane to marrying my partner of almost forty years.  It gets better… It gets a lot better.
