Tears streamed down my cheeks. "It's not fair," I said. "Daddy and Papa love each other. We want to have a great big wedding. I want to wear my special dress and bake our favorite cake. Why won't they let Daddy and Papa get married? It's just not fair."

About the Book
As the Supreme Court is deciding whether to recognize same sex marriage in our country, my book echoes the question posed by Justice Anthony Kennedy;
"In thinking about the impact of this decision on children, they want their parents to have fully recognized and legal status. The voice of these children is considerable in this case, don't you think?"
Yes, Justice Kennedy, I do. It is from the voices of our children that a wise and just decision should flow.
Equal is equal. Right is right. Love is love. Period. End of story. Beginning of a new story; the day of Freedom For Us All.
