Six years after Zachary Thomas and his wife adopted the first of three biracial children, Zachary’s wife died, leaving him a single father responsible for the three adopted kids—six, five, and four years old—and two older, biological daughters, ages fourteen and fifteen. Within months of his wife’s death Zach could no longer suppress feelings he’s tried to deny. He’s attracted to other men. Two Lives: Both Mine is a memoir about Zach’s two different world, the first as a happily-married, seemingly straight man, the other as a gay man on a quest to find a partner. In his painfully honest memoir, Zach Thomas weaves the two lives together. This is a continuation of the life detailed in the best-selling The Boy Who Had to Be Perfect.
