“My Father’s Alzheimer’s Romance,” in Loving Arrangements: Stories About Modern Living and Loving, edited by Nan Bauer-Maglin and Daniel E. Hood
Click the link above for a PDF of my essay in this anthology. I’ve also included the table of contents so you can see the full array of alternative living and loving arrangements described by the 28 other contributors. They include married couples who live in separate cities and single people in communes and cohousing, plus varied takes on the practice and ethics of having multiple partners. Close friends form a chosen family; couples navigate the shifting boundaries of their relationship as one partner begins a gender transition. They span generations and represent the nation’s entire ethnic and cultural diversity. You can order a print book or ebook here. For a 30% discount use code RUP30.
