In Three Generations of Love, James Pope delivers a bold, unconventional tale that spans 25 years of passion, heartbreak, and resilience. At its core is a foursome of two lesbian couples whose lives intertwine on and off the golf course, where a lost ball sparks more than just playful banter-it ignites a whirlwind of emotions, secrets, and unexpected connections. With twists "more than our intestines," Pope crafts a narrative that is both humorous and deeply human, exploring how love evolves across generations and how relationships weather the storms of time. This isn't just a story of romance-it's a chronicle of identity, desire, and the raw intensity of living authentically. Readers are invited into a world of raging emotions, where intimacy collides with loyalty, and where the search for belonging becomes as compelling as the love itself. Three Generations of Love is provocative, heartfelt, and unforgettable.

Born in 1937 on a family farm in Avoca, Iowa, I grew up in the "cash n' carry" world where hard work and savings shaped every decision. At fifteen, after my father's passing, I became an instant adult-taking his job as janitor at the Macedonia Consolidated School to support my mother and sisters. By sixteen, I was working full-time as a hired hand on a farm, a role I held for four years before graduating and joining the U.S. Navy. I spent twenty-seven years serving aboard submarines, learning discipline, resilience, and the value of teamwork. After retiring, I transitioned to civilian life as a supervisor in a utility company's computerized maintenance department. At sixty, I stepped away from work entirely, embracing life with my partner of thirty-two years as we traveled the world. Today, I write not as a trained author but as a storyteller-connecting the dots of a life lived with grit, service, and wonder.
