The whole affair started as a joke, as a flight of fancy fueled by grandiose imagination. The beer may have had something to do with it, too. There were two empty pitchers on the table and what started as a discussion evolved into an argument. It ended with a bet. I could not believe any mature woman in her right mind would even bother to respond to such nonsense. Anne knew her sisters all too well and had her doubts.... So begins this earthy tale of one man's unintended quest to find his heart's desire in a strange, confusing world. He considers himself happily married, his life is as good as it gets. All he wants is to win a friendly argument with his wife. When it becomes a matter of principle, he makes a bet. With this simple act, his quest is launched. It will be an oddysey that turns his life upside down as it leads him through the twists and turns of a strange and wonderful world called polyamory. It will lift him to heights he's never known and plunge him into depths of despair. Yet, in the end he will learn the meaning of love and find the greatest gift of all.
