I Had Always Been So

Michelle knew in middle school that she was a lesbian, but it wasn't until today that she finally lives with the companion of her heart's choice.
Beginning in the first year of her marriage in the 1970's - a marriage contrived by her for the sake of having a child - Michelle goes from life within the ice of repression, through startling family problems and finally into numbness of the heart, before finally making a dignified exit from her marriage, and finding herself where she is now - middle-aged, soon-to-be-engaged, and happy.

I Had Always Been So carries a message that with hope, there is always the opportunity for cultural progress. Michelle has lived through the most remarkable of times, when the door to marriage equality is now starting to be opened for herself and so many others.
