Interview with Felice Cohen | Ep #30

Profiles in LGBTQ+ Courage

At the age of 23, Felice Cohen was, like many other college graduates, hesitant about entering the real world, and at the same time, uncertain about her sexuality.

Focused on landing her first job as a writer, falling in love was the last thing on Felice’s mind. But fall in love she did -- with her boss, Sarah, a woman 34 years older than she.

It was a relationship that lasted 9 years. And for Felice, it was the first taste of true love and deep intimacy. But the affair took place in secrecy and ultimately ended in heartbreak.

Now, Felice has written a book about her experience called Half In: A Coming of Age Memoir of Forbidden Love.

When it was released in late September 2022 Felice’s book raced to the top of Amazon’s best seller lists in six categories.

As Felice tells PFLAG Cape Cod’s Rick Koonce in this moving interview, writing this memoir proved a therapeutic experience that helped Felice to mend her hurting heart, and bring her deep love for Sarah out of the closet for the first time.
