✦ Synopsis

Eleven short stories and a novella make up this collection of fiction. In stories alternately tragic and comic, but always told with heart and wit, lesbian life takes a wide range of forms. “Family is Family” is narrated by a distraught Jewish mother at a PFLAG meeting; “Eggs McMenopause” is told in the voice of a butch in the throes of a mid-life crisis.” Whatever Happened to Baby Fane” explores the friendship of a lesbian and a gay man living with AIDS; “Homo Alone” concerns itself with a lesbian visiting her parents for the first time after her girlfriend leaves her for a man. “Girls Will Be Girls” is a novella told in three voices: Gwen, a therapist; Didi, Gwen’s girlfriend; and Nicki, Gwen’s client and the woman Didi is having an affair with.
