More about the book

The narrative centers on Roberta Kaplan's legal battle against the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) through the poignant story of Edie Windsor and Thea Spyer. Together for over forty years, the couple faced societal challenges and personal hardships, including Spyer's paralysis. After finally marrying, Spyer's death led to the federal government denying recognition of their marriage, resulting in Windsor facing a substantial estate tax. This case highlights the intersection of love, legal injustice, and the fight for LGBTQ+ rights.
