Christopher's Quiet War
He built a life worth remembering. Now memory is taking it away.
Christopher has spent his entire life being told he is too sensitive, too dramatic, and simply too much. Beneath the glittering lights of New York nightlife, he learns to turn pain into performance and loneliness into laughter-until Steven enters his life and sees the frightened man behind the show.
Steven is disciplined where Christopher is impulsive, practical where he is impossible, and determined to build the safe home neither of them was promised.
Together, they create a life in the Florida Keys filled with disastrous dinners, private jokes, passionate nights, fierce arguments, extravagant trips, an adoption dream that nearly breaks them, and quiet mornings they believe will continue forever. Their marriage is imperfect, complicated, and breathtakingly ordinary.
Then the house phone rings.
Years later, as Lewy body dementia begins opening and closing the doors of Christopher's memory, the past refuses to remain in the past. Love, grief, friendship, illness, and unfinished plans collide as Christopher fights to preserve the man he loved-and the person he was when Steven loved him.
Christopher's Quiet War is a sweeping queer love story about chosen family, marriage, loss, and the fragile memories that make a life our own.
When everything else disappears, can love still remember us?
