The story spans youth, middle age, and the settling in of old age. It is a beautiful and bittersweet accounting of a love that spans decades, and will move you.
Blurb
Jake
and Dave lived and loved for over fifty years. During that time, they
campaigned for gay rights. They married each other three times until, finally,
in 2013, the United States Supreme Court declared DOMA to be unconstitutional
and thus legalized their union. They made a family and raised four beautiful
children together. When he loses Dave to a massive stroke, Jake feels his world
has ended. Join him as he relives a life well-lived through memories triggered
by photos of his and Dave's years together. Jake feels as though Dave is still
sitting beside him. As each picture is described, he reminds Dave of when and
where it was taken. The reader is then taken to that time and place.

BIO:
A. T. Weaver is the pen name of
a Kansas City grandmother of ten. She lives with her cat, Cleopatra, in
downtown Kansas City, MO. When she was growing up, the word gay meant happy and
carefree and homosexuals were called queer or ‘one-of-those’. However, she
never heard those terms until she was married and a mother. In 2003, through a
TV show called Boy Meets Boy, A.T ‘met’ over 3,000 gay men in a Yahoo group.
These men educated her as to the inequalities suffered by the LGBT community
and she became a staunch ally. She visited one of the men in San Francisco who
lived just up the street from the Castro. As he showed her around, they stopped
in front of what was once Harvey Milk’s camera store. Her question, “Who was
Harvey Milk?” started her education into Gay history. A. T.’s aim is to move
you in some way. Whether you laugh or cry, love it or hate it, she welcomes all
comments, whether good or bad.
A T Weaver actively participates in a
charity walk every year, and this blog tour is in honour of all those in the
walk and to raise funds for the walk and help AIDS charities.
