5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, moving, real-life story., May 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Private Passions (Paperback)

This was a compassionate story about a woman who finds herself again after abuse at the hands of her ex-lover. It is also a story about the loss of a parent and the triumph of a career. This book is a cut above the usual "trivial" lesbian romances that are mundane and "more of the same." I highly recommend this book to all lesbian readers who are interested in learning about what's really happening in our lives and community.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Masterful Plot and Engaging Storyline, December 17, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Private Passions (Paperback)

Once again, Laura DeHart Young has proved that she is a masterful storyteller and talented author! This is a gutsy story of the physical and emotional battering that occurs in some lesbian relationships. Most writers would shy away from a story with such serious overtones, but not this author. This is a riveting story that will keep your interest from beginning to end. Excellent!
