Danny and Luis have been a couple for twenty years. Piece by piece, they've built a life together. They've created a home. They've comforted and held each other up through challenges and tragedies. They've shared happiness and they've shared joy.

The one thing they didn't have was the one thing that, when they first met, was denied them: the possibility of marriage. They've witnessed the weddings of their friends, but the law was clear. It would not recognize the union of two men.

But the law has now changed. Such a marriage, for the first time, would be legal. So while celebrating the 20th wedding anniversary of close friends, Danny realizes that he is ready for more from his relationship with Luis. He wants them to be married. He wants to declare their shared past as the start of their renewed future. He proposes to Luis, and the moment he does, he risks everything they have built falling apart.

Deeply felt and remarkably tender, Twenty Years Together is a profound exploration of the bonds we create with each other, of the tension between living authentically against the expectations of family and community and, most of all, of desire, romance and love.

Simply put, Tom's new novel is a shattering and beautiful love story, the most personal and powerful piece of storytelling he's written to date.
