IDENTITIES

Brooke thought she had read every book in Grandad's fiction collection until she stumbled upon an unfamiliar title. Curious, she delves into the book, realizing her relationship with her boyfriend of four years parallels the story she is reading of Ezra and Christian. Can a Victorian tale of forbidden love between two men provide the answers to salvage her floundering relationship?

 

This unusual story is a period tale wrapped inside a contemporary storyline. The interior tale follows two men's relationship in 1890 Victorian London; the outer story follows Brooke and Chase in upstate New York in a present-day setting. The manuscript crosses genre-specific lines: gay/hetero and period/contemporary. Not a traditional, run-of-the-mill read but a journey into alternative fiction. (novella)
