The Story Began Once Upon a Time - Siobhan Smile

Genre: Contemporary LGBTQ+ Category: Bi, Lesbian Reviewer: Lucy Get It On Amazon About The Book OdessaI’d always wanted more. Some fairytale that didn’t exist. One day I’d stood up and ran to give my children the life my family and community denied me. All of it had seemed simple in my brain but taking my life back at almost forty wasn’t just about changing zip codes. That was until one night in my favorite diner, and the more I was looking for asked to sit at my table. DaniI was a serial monogamist, but long-term hadn’t worked out for me.
