The one book that will change your life and your view of the world has finally arrived with Sidney Andrew’s eye-opening memoir, A Fall to New Heights: A Love Crept in Un-Awares.

The world is your oyster. And you have within you an indomitable spirit that will allow you to face all obstacles standing in the way of fulfilling every dream you’ve ever dreamt, and every vision you’ve ever held in your heart.

Sidney Andrews’ compelling memoir, A Fall to New Heights, is a testament to the power of the human spirit. Her true story shatters social barriers and misconceptions, a shining beacon of hope for all those who have ever been targeted for being different.

In a tale that begins in 1973, Sidney – a wife of fifteen years and a mother to three children – is living what many would call a picture-perfect life. Within a year, however, her life unraveled at the seams when she found herself ungrounded by her non-traditional and new-found love for another woman. What follows is a journey of self-discovery towards love and spirituality – a journey marked by discrimination, misunderstanding and pain that would eventually give way to acceptance, faith and inner peace.

A Fall to New Heights is a provocative new work truthfully written to reveal our deepest prejudices and fears, and the injustices that we put up with and promote with our continued subservience to such prejudices and fears. With this unforgettable memoir that details the price and consequences of forbidden love, Andrews generously imparts rich lessons on being human, living one’s truth, and trusting God.

Andrews’ inspiring chronicle of her own journey promises stirring and heartfelt lessons for everyone, especially those who’ve been cast out for being different and wanting more than what is offered by the status quo. It is a must-read for families and friends who seek to understand the lives and situations of their gay or lesbian child, parent, or friend.

This is a wonderful memoir about two women who bravely decide to leave their husbands and children to be together. The fact that they do this during the 1970′s, when the stigma against gay love and marriage was much stronger, makes the book a compelling read. Sidney Andrews writes with great honesty and openness about her love affair with her partner and their strong Christian faith.— P. Margulies
