Life Times Nine Jt Debold

From the author of "The Guest House Chronicles", "Class Imperfect", "Falling Hard in Hollywood", "Eight Founding Queens", "The Connectivity of Fate" and "The Transient Realm" -- This book presents nine short stories with a blend of fact and fiction. From the talk show host who becomes the first female President to the transgender surgeon who marries a wounded soldier. From the blue-collar millionaire's secrets to the soldier dodging "Don't ask, Don't tell". Reverse vignettes profile an ordinary homemaker whose life endures extraordinary adversity from those professing love. ---

The onset of a health epidemic in the 1980s begins the story of two men who share a common bond while technically strangers. Their life together portrays the heartlessness that has been inflicted on the infirmed, often by their own family. Common decency is shunned in favor of avarice over the almighty dollar until karma pays a visit. ---

Where the quiet lives of some are seen as socially deviant, the true story of two grade school sweethearts proves tragic. We all have an expiration date with destiny but for some, the cause of their finality is no longer a mystery. Does that make them lucky or unfortunate? ---

These stories and others are profiled by blending facts with fiction. Assume not the ability to decipher which details are true to life and which are the product of imagination. Think now of your own life. What might be difficult for others to believe, if only they knew?
