Book description

In 1983, Sharon Kowalski was seriously injured in a car accident, leaving her unable to communicate in traditional ways. Her lover of 4 years was denied visitation rights, and Kowalski was denied guardianship of her child. The story of these two women shows how we all pay a high and painful price for homophobia, sexism, and discrimination.
