Review & Description
In the wake of NY State's legalization of same sex marriage, a debut novel Three Fifths of Love tells one of the many stories of pain behind the headlines. Two women, Rebecca and Julia Callahan, are raising their son Jack in Albany, NY. in 2008. They were married legally in Massachusetts, they've been together for 8 years, they have a child together, but when Julie is injured in an accident, none of that matters. In the eyes of the state, Jack is her son, not Rebecca's, and Julie's parents, who disowned her a decade ago for being gay, and have never met their grandson, take custody of Jack before Rebecca can even say goodbye. Three Fifths of Love takes the reader on Rebecca's journey...her fear for Julie's life, her memories of their time together, her epic legal battle to win her son back, and the shocking conclusion that leaves the reader wondering whether the recently won legalization of gay marriage in NY is a victory at all. In the tradition of Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, Three Fifths of Love takes the reader on a journey of conscience into the heart of prejudice in America; a journey from which you will not return unmoved.In the wake of NY State's legalization of same sex marriage, a debut novel Three Fifths of Love tells one of the many stories of pain behind the headlines.
