Finalist for the Lambda Literary Award.

"A book to be savored--lying with your head in your girlfriend's lap."--Out

"An empathetic writer who can do justice to simple happiness and complicated love."--MS.

"A compelling, profoundly felt book. . . . A clear and rare view into the lives of two women and their world. . . . This lively memoir helps us to come that much closer to a mystery: the inexplicable fact of long-held affection, long-held desire, which can bind two people far more deeply than state or church ever could."--Mark Doty, Ruminator Review
