This Changes Nothing

Alexander Vaughn has spent forty-two years knowing exactly who he is.

Then his mother tells him the man who raised him wasn’t his biological father.

Now Alex has a seventy-four-year-old biological father, a younger brother who has known about him for years, and an identity that suddenly feels less settled than it did yesterday.

Technically, none of this changes anything.

Neither does running into Mason Cole, the ex-husband who left because Alex could discuss anything except himself.

But as Alex begins questioning the difference between the family we’re born into, the family that raises us, and the life we construct for ourselves, he discovers that some truths don’t replace what came before.

They simply make the story bigger.
