520    "When sculptor and author Barb Davis is given an NEA grant
       to pair original feminist sculptures with searing first-
       person essays on transitions in women's lives, she 
       organizes a two week writing retreat with twelve of the 
       best, brightest, and most notorious lesbian authors in the
       business. But in between regularly scheduled happy hours 
       and writing sessions, the women enter a tournament bass 
       fishing competition, receive life coaching from a wise-
       cracking fish named Phoebe, and uncover a subterranean 
       world of secrets and desires that is as varied and elusive
       as the fish that swim in the waters of Lake Champlain. Set
       on the beautiful shores of Vermont's Lake Champlain, 
       Backcast is richly populated with an expansive cast of 
       endearing and outrageous characters who battle writer's 
       block, quirky locals, personal demons, unexpected 
       attractions, and even each other during their two-week 
       residency. For Barb and each of her twelve writers, the 
       stakes in this fast-moving story are high, but its 
       emotional and romantic payoffs are slow and sweet. Filled 
       with equal parts laugh-out-loud humor and breathtaking 
       pathos, Backcast serves up a sometimes irreverent, 
       sometimes sobering look at the hidden lives of women, and 
       how they laugh, love, lose, and blunder through their own 
       search for meaning.
