A close-up look at the rise in gay and lesbian marriages in the United States follows the key players in the political conflict that ensued from efforts to legalize the process, describing the cases that led to Vermont--followed by other states--becoming the first to grant gay couples the right to join in civil unions and examining the implications of that decision. 30,000 first printing.

"He is taking a Vermont experience and making it into a national story that is worth telling."
-Madeleine Kunin, former Vermont governor
