Across centuries and continents, real love stories unfolded quietly behind palace doors, in secret letters, and across battlefields unseen by history textbooks but etched in time. Scandalous and Sacred dives deep into the lives of real couples who dared to love beyond society’s rigid lines of race, class, gender, and religion.
From the courtroom courage of Mildred and Richard Loving, whose interracial marriage changed U.S. law, to the whispered letters between Emily Dickinson and Susan Gilbert, and the throne-shaking romance of Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson, this book reveals the forbidden, the queer, and the courageous.
Each chapter brings you face-to-face with love that endured exile, scandal, and societal outrage. Through meticulous research, personal correspondence, and biographical records, Scandalous and Sacred proves that the heart has always been history’s quietest, and bravest revolutionary.
For lovers of historical nonfiction, LGBTQ+ history, women’s studies, and biographies who crave the untold side of love.
