	All Books by Diane Salvatore - Author of : Not Telling Mother : Stories from a Life Paperback - 160 pages (November 1993) Naiad Pr; ISBN: 1562800442 "Lesbian Short Stories; These are stories about silences--unsaid doubts between lovers, untold truths between mother and daughters, unspoken rules of the workplace--that muzzle the lesbian voice. Salvatore strokes her subjects without missing a key, from a nine-year-old at a nun's wake in "The Viewing" to a befuddled husband with a hammering heart because his wife left him for a woman in "Queer Fate." Three stories deal with the Provincetown vacation of three female couples; each story views an affair and its aftereffects from the perspective of a different participant. Other stories--coming out, coming to terms with an adversarial world, becoming one of a couple, with all the attendant doubts and hopes--are told from the point of view of Renee--as either child or adult. In one story a straight friend marries a biker; in another a lesbian couple adopt a baby." Click to buy this book in USA, Canada, UK:

	All Books by Vickie Sears - Author of : Simple Songs: Stories Paperback (May 1990) Firebrand Books; ISBN: 0932379818 *~~ Featured Book Review ~~* "Lesbian Short Stories; In her nimble debut, a Native American writer offers probing stories that seem as much observed from real life as created in the imagination. Several profile young girls coping with the problems of being what one character calls ``a marginal woman . . . a person of what's a supposedly fading culture trying to make a transition into what's supposed to be an improved state of affairs.'' Rare kindnesses are treasured by these characters, who find the battle for self-esteem almost overwhelmingly difficult. In ``Keeping Sacred Secrets,'' a girl raised by her much-loved father and grandmother is suddenly thrust into the care of her mother, a stranger who considers Indian ways barbaric. The eponymous protagonist of ``Katie's Flight'' learns lessons about human mortality from the death of a sparrow. In ``Music Lady'' the young, nameless narrator is encouraged in her first tentative efforts as a writer by a record store owner who understands her love and need for music. Darker pieces include a convincing first-person account of a woman's descent into psychosis and hallucination." Click to buy this book in USA, Canada, UK:
