Wow - what a revelation for a Father's Day!

To eventually let his daughter know that his life would have been perfect without his wife and the birth of his four beautiful kids, Duane Ralph Hall earns zero compassion.

Yes, he endured horrors as a bullied and unprotected child, as well for his arrests, denial of entry into the Navy, forced change of name, and his U.S. Government dictated firing from his job. This does not excuse changing his identity to seduce an innocent girl and so deprive her of the possibility of a full life with heterosexual mates while burdening both her and his children with his "secret."

For future editions, editing would be welcome to avoid many serious repetitions
and to add perspectives of husbands, notably the kind professor.

As well, it would be good to have more understanding about why the author did not seek increased therapy for her night terrors and insecurities when she became an adult. She could have built on her father's strength and early open feelings rather than on her mother's ongoing reticence.

More photographs would be welcome!
