""This bold and touching exploration of belonging, created family, and identity is sure to resonate with anyone finding themselves starting over, uncertain about their future, and seeking connection."" -Sassafras Patterdale (formerly Lowrey), author of Lost Boi, Roving Pack, and Kicked Out ""A beautiful, heartfelt tale of love and loss. You'll devour each page."" -Bill Konigsberg, award-winning author of Openly Straight and Destination Unknown ""Saskia's story is both unique and compelling and ultimately universal. 'Where do I belong?' is the human heart's constant cry, and Julie Turner deftly and gracefully guides us to the answer: beside each other."" -Emily Carpenter, author of Gothictown ""Heartbreaking in the first few chapters, then bittersweet and beautiful throughout, Julie Turner's not-a-memoir-yet-with-parts-drawn-from-life novel conveys raw emotion through her beautiful prose as main character Saskia works personal tragedy by taking care of a dying man in 1990. Turner has an eye for detail that captures how someone can be beautiful even as they die of a horrible disease. An unusual and interesting read."" -Allison Ashton, author of Sweet, Spicy, Delicate ""A heartfelt tale filled with warmth, wisdom, and delightfully vivid characters."" -Marshall Thornton, Lambda award-winning author of Femme and Father of the Bride
