    About this ebook

    A fascinating story of love and campaigning for equality and social justice.

    When Katherine Zappone and Ann Louise Gilligan met it was love. It has been love through twenty-seven years together. But that love had consequences which brought this couple to the High Court, and beyond.

    They met at Boston College. Returning to Ireland, their relationship had to be kept secret. Jobs were at stake, and elevation to positions of authority could be jeopardised.

    What would happen if one of them died? Only a married couple received the support of the state in such circumstances.

    Ireland rejected their Canadian marriage and they had to make a huge decision: to go public and fight or to stay quiet and suffer the consequences? Here they offer their deeply personal story – out loud for all to read.

    Foreword by Archbishop Desmond Tutu

      I worked for Ann Louise Gilligan for a few years and I have to say it was the most eye opening experience. Ann Louise's integrity, compassion, passion and social conscience was incredible. This in turn made me really look at how I should treat people with respect, support social change, equality and how I could help those around me. It was a sad day when Ann Louise passed away.

      If you want to listen to a true campaigner for social equity and equality look no further than this book.
