by Marcia S. Andrews"This novel poses all the hard questions people try to avoid asking when they are in love, or trying to be in love, or trying not to. And it rejects the easy emotional and political answers whether offered by the lesbian community or the extended family, for a fair and hard-won conclusion. An intent and insightful work."--Jane Rule.
