Beckstrand has lived abroad, interned for Congress in D.C., and earned a B.A. in journalism and an M.A. in conflict resolution.

Regardless of marital status or sexual orientation, every person has legitimate needs for love and true union, including connection with those of one's own sex. Still, long-term relating bliss can be elusive for just about anyone; but there are more kinds of connection than we knowand happier bonds than the sparse ones society often signals.

Readers will be gratified by its conclusions and novel assertions...particularly relating to meaningful relationships...which lends it distinction and is refreshing to read."
