In The Love That Dares, queer love speaks its name through the words of lovers from years gone by. Alongside the more famous names coexist beautifully written letters by lesser-known lovers, giving us an insight into queer love outside of the spotlight of fame or fortune. These letters give us a glimpse into the passion and courage it took to continue a gay relationship in times when it was at best improper and at worst illegal. Enlightening introductions to each set of letters give readers an idea of the historical context in which they were written.

Halitosis, also known as bad breath, can be very embarrassing and may even cause anxiety in some patients. It's no wonder that conventional and emarket stores are overflowing with mouthwashes, mints, gum, and other products created to fight or reduce bad breath. Many of these products can only secure temporary measures, because they don't address or treat the root cause of the problem.
