Past Tense

When 16-year-old Sydney, lover of all that is expected, ordinary, and low profile (but of exceptional brilliance), learns her father is gay, part of her is completely OK with it, and -- well -- another part is anything but happy about it. Unfortunately for Sydney, the part that is accepting of her dad is no longer a fan of dull "Present Sydney" and the exciting "Future Sydney" decides it is time to make a split for the future without her boring old self tagging along. "Future Sydney" lives one day ahead of old Sydney and she is loving life. She's got the hot guy, the lead in the school play, and she has put the mean girls in their place. But can old and new get back together before serious damage is done for both Sydneys? Told in a wonderfully unique fantasy, Author Steven Lee Climer has sent a love letter to his daughters. Past Tense also addresses what millions of families deal with: what happens when dad is gay? How does happiness actually work? The LGBTQ community will benefit from this fantastic, wonderful fantasy that addresses real-life issues of queerness, parenting, and unconditional love.
