When National Public Radio commentator Marion Winik broadcast a piece on "All Things Considered" about the death of her husband, Tony, the response was amazing: an outpouring of letters, phone calls, and expressions of sympathy and support. Now she gives us First Comes Love, an unsentimental, bittersweet, and sometimes unnerving account of the extraordinary passion between a straight woman and a gay man.

Work Description
When NPR commentator Marion Winik met Tony Heubach at Mardi Gras in 1983, there was "a spark of recognition between us. . . . something with a trajectory outside my field of vision." In this candid and deeply felt memoir, she traces that trajectory: a straight woman and a gay man falling in love, marrying, raising two beautiful sons; their against-the-odds happiness eventually crumbling under the pressure of AIDS; and the harrowing, heartbreaking final moments of their life together.From the Hardcover edition.
