Now, a few decades later ;-) I'm author of five books: Beyond All Desiring, a novel; Three Part Invention,a novel; Goddess Matters: the mystical, practical and controversial; Goddess Spirituality for the 21st Century: from Kabbalah to Quantum Physics; and She Lives! The Return of Our Great Mother. The two novels are available in both print and Kindle editions. The others are available in print only. A study guide for the Kabbalah chapters in Goddess Spirituality for the 21st Century is available in a Kindle edition.
The print version of Beyond All Desiring has won 3 awards: Top Prize, 2006 Ulysses Award; Finalist, Best Books Awards 2006; and Finalist, 2006 Media Darlings Book Awards.

Beautifully Written,
This review is from: Beyond All Desiring (Paperback)
This is a beautifully written novel about a woman no one in her family understands. She is an old woman when the novel opens, but we come to understand the life she lived as a teen during the Depression and a young woman during World War II, and the effect these experiences had on her. Things she did when young, which many of us today would consider acceptable, had to be hidden from family members back then if you wanted them to like you and if you wanted to keep your job. The main character, Sara had deep, lasting love relationships with both men and women. She lived without a telephone or TV, and kept to herself a lot.There are also a number of other interesting characters: Sara's niece, Janice, a work-at-home mom; and her unmarried, career-conscious sister Barbara; Sara's rather weird husband, Harry, and others. Judith Laura has a way of bringing you inside the characters so that you see the world as they see it.
