![]() ![]() And her current book, an autobiography, stirs up a controversial commotion in her school, family, and community. But the LGBTQ+ genre she chooses to write about doesn’t sit well with the conservative town in which she lives. When she writes as Brooke, she becomes her and feels free from dealing with her own unsettled life. While their romantic relationship was short, it was extraordinary, intensely significant in Taylor’s life, and something she has kept a secret since then. Taylor finds solace in writing novels under the pen name Brooke Skipstone-the name of her college roommate who had been her best friend for years and then her lover for the two days prior to Brooke’s tragic death at the hands of someone close to Taylor. Taylor doesn’t trust Marshall, nor does he trust her, and the love they have for each other appears to be in the distant past, if it was ever there at all. Seventy-year-old substitute teacher Taylor MacKenzie and her husband Marshall live in Clear, Alaska and have three children-two sons who they rarely see, and a troubled daughter who had died from a seizure years earlier. ![]()
