Letter to Caroline

Liza was at the crossroads of her life, having just arrived in San Francisco. It was there that she found Genevieve, the love of her life. The years that followed were happy ones, full of adventure and companionship, until they decided to start a family. Liza and Genevieve set out on a complicated journey to have a child; one that would ultimately consume them. Liza chronicles the longing, pain, hope, loss, and self-doubt that infertility would unroof for both of them; each in their own unique way.

Liza’s reflective narrative as conveyed to her daughter Caroline will inspire even the most pessimistic listener. Whether gay or straight, the themes contained in this work are universal: love, longing, futility, hope, forgiveness and finally, inner peace.

“There are moments in one’s life that must be
remembered; stories that ache to be heard, clawing their
way out of deepest darkness and pain to reach some sort
of light. This is one of those stories; the story of the love
of my life, whose name you also bear; a story of love,
hope, loss, and redemption.”"
