Hardy, coauthor, The Ethical Slut"More than just a glimpse into a world outside the status quo, Dedeker Wilsons new book The Smart Girls Guide to Polyamory guides readers on a sassy romp through introducing and defining polyamory, to finding out what others have said about it, and ending up outside the classroom, the closet, and the norm.
