Everyday Heaven (ISBN 1-84310-211-0) is Donna Williams' fourth autobiographical book, covering her life from where Like Colour To The Blind left off through to her return to Australia. The full four autobiographical installments in this series are the international bestsellers, Nobody Nowhere (1992) and Somebody Somewhere(1994) which then precede Like Colour To The Blind (1996) and finally Everyday Heaven(2004).
Everyday Heaven addresses Donna Williams' treatment for two primary immune deficiencies, discovering what it is to hold onto the processing of a simultaneous sense of self and other necessary to really feeling 'in company with others' and her subsequent explorations of gender identity and sexual orientation whilst dealing with the deaths of several people close to her along the way. After an adulthood of what she describes as 'domestic prostitution' it is in this book that Donna Williams comes out as a lesbian, before realising her bisexuality and marrying her husband Chris.
