Unintended Consequences

release date: Sep 27, 2018
Unintended Consequences
This is the unusual true story of two people in Texas who are separated by both time and space until they have an unlikely meeting which evolves into an extraordinary tale of love and dysfunction. Greg Brown was born in 1969 and knew that he was different from an early age. By 1977 he was humorously (and frightfully) able to identify the condition as being gay. The adventures and situations which follow due to his homosexuality are both dramatic and funny. But just as important are the situations he''s introduced to regardless of his emerging sexuality. He was introduced to alcohol at age eleven by an older wealthy relative (which would influence him for years); is accidentally introduced to pornography by thirteen; is sent to Europe basically unsupervised at age fourteen and starts experiencing feelings of love for other men even though he can''t tell anyone.This is a snapshot of a seemingly ordinary upper-middle-class American family of it''s time. But it''s not a frivolous story of coming out or of having privilege. It''s a story of a boy hiding a secret and a family thinking they''re doing everything right. Events that occur are Unintended Consequences of actions and inactions by several people.Eventually, Greg''s parents move to Taiwan for a job opportunity when Greg is eighteen and just entering Texas Tech in Lubbock. It''s decided that he will come home after the first semester to take care of the family home near Dallas when his parents leave. What ensues for the next several years is a series of events, including a trip around the world, which leads him to meet Priscilla Davis, a highly dysfunctional lady thirty years his senior who has become known as one of the most infamous (and beautiful) women in Texas history. Priscilla Davis was the 36-year-old estranged wife of Cullen Davis in 1977 when the most famous murder case in Texas history against her husband was commencing. She accused her husband of being the shooter in their 19,000 square foot mansion in Ft. Worth in the summer of 1976 in which her boyfriend and 12-year-old daughter were murdered and Priscilla herself was shot. The subsequent trials lasted until 1979 and Cullen was acquitted of multiple charges, including murder. A movie title Texas Justice with Heather Locklear in 1995 told the story up until 1979. Priscilla moved to Dallas in 1981 with 3.5 million dollars to start a new life. Just at that time, Greg was entering his teenage years in Grand Prairie, a city five miles from Dallas. This book chronicles the parallel paths of Greg and Priscilla''s lives before they meet. Priscilla''s struggles are increasing as the years are going by and so are Greg''s; but for different reasons. When the two do meet, even 28 years of time and space can''t keep them apart.This story has many layers and dynamics. It''s a story of drama and humor which most people and families experience at one time or another. But it also speaks to the human capacity to forgive and forge forward.
