About the Book

The historical fiction novel was written before same sex union became federally recognized in the USA, giving a riveting account of what life was like before the LGBTQ community had the same civil rights as other citizens - with a twist! It is written in a setting wherein only ten percent of the population in the United States is heterosexual, and the only difference in the course of history over the past one hundred years is that the majority of the population is gay, instead of straight. This novel challenges the reader to peer into an alternate reality of what the world would be like if the only variable changed was that there was a different ruling majority class. The story is based in Southern California. Marcus is a straight man born in 1930 whom against all odds, finds the woman of his dreams, in spite of the problems that he and Marie must overcome. They love, they strive, they succeed, and they spend their entire lifetimes together, despite the deck being stacked against them as the most overlooked minority population in the country. This love story is laced with historical facts and laws that are educational for the reader; yet, it is uproariously funny. It challenges you to bend your conception of past and present time. This novel promises to expand your thinking and to pose questions in your mind. It is uplifting, intellectually intriguing, and best of all, it has a happy ending.

Review :
"I would, of course, recommend [Over the Course of a Lifetime] to any reader, both in the interest of providing a summary history and as a way of thinking differently about things. Put something complex up to a mirror, and you are bound to notice things about it that you never had before." - Arthur Breur, Rainbow Reviews
