"Thoughtful...candor.... Beckstrand...delivers multiple supportive arguments.... Readers will be gratified by its conclusions and novel assertions...particularly relating to meaningful relationships...which lends it distinction." - The BookLife Prize (Publisher's Weekly)

College media instructor Karl W. Beckstrand has lived a full life (including abroad). He earned a B.A. in journalism and an M.A. in conflict resolution, and he interned for Congress in D.C. He was a technical recruiter in Silicon Valley, a Stanford Hospital chaplain, and a Spanish interpreter for Angel Flight (aviator nonprofit). But his relationships were far from satisfying. Today, Beckstrand enjoys profound lasting ties.

Regardless of marital status or sexual orientation, every person has legitimate needs for love and true union, including connection with those of one's own sex. But, long-term relating bliss can be elusive for just about anyone. There are more kinds of connection than we know-and happier bonds than the sparse ones the world often signals. As true needs are met, loving generous feelings can replace discouragement, isolation, infidelity, even addiction.

Know a gay couple that's floundering? Beckstrand shares keys for healing relationships and creating deep lasting same-sex bonds. Yet, what he's learned also applies to heterosexuals, married people, singles, and all sexes. Chapters include:
  • Beyond Either/or Thinking
  • Is It All about Sex?
  • What's Good About Attraction to Your Own Sex?
  • Is Fluidity Real?
  • Are Competing Desires Healthful?
  • Authentic Identity - The Key to Happiness
  • How to Not Miss Out
  • Close Beyond Imagination

Get these concise concepts plus information on relating with a gay loved one, suggestions for coming out (or not), tips for supporting families of LGBTQIA people-plus online extras and bonus material. A more spiritual version of this book is titled, More Than 2 Paths.
