"The book is a literary collection of various essays, poems, pieces of plays, speeches, and more that I have written over the last thirty plus years around the topic of living an authentic life as a queer man in a straight society. I believe it is universal. My friend, Arno Michaelis, who wrote the foreword, has dreams of straight kids carrying copies of it around and learning more about all of us getting along. I think it has the potential to create more understanding or I wouldn't have published it" -- from author's blog https://callenharty.wordpress.com/2013/12/27/a-dream-realized/
