A beautiful book.,
By A Customer
This review is from: His Hands, His Tools, His Sex, His Dress: Lesbian Writers on Their Fathers (Paperback)
This anthology, containing both new and well-known lesbian writers, is just wonderful--beautifully written and moving. Lesbian readers will find a lot to relate to here, but really this collection is for any female who has grown up to be a different type of woman than her father expected. Highly reommended--and would make a great gift! Contributors include Jewelle Gomez, Tristan Taormino, Minnie Bruce Pratt, Gretchen Legler, and Holly Hughes, among others.
