| Summary |
"Telling Moments collects contemporary short stories by a diverse group of twenty-four lesbian writers. Engaging themes of life and death, aging, mother-hood, race, love, work, and travel, the writers offer brief glimpses into lesbian lives." |
|
"The tales encompass sheer joy, amazing strength, poignant memories, and lively humor. Anna Livia's protagonist appreciates her mother's artful garden creation. Ruthann Robson tells of a survivor of the health care system. In Marion Douglas's story a teenager dances with an alluring classmate. Donna Allegra's strong construction worker copes with the death of her mother. And Karla Jay sets her character forth to swim with sharks. Most of the stories are accompanied by an author photo, biographical sketch, and - a most significant feature - commentary from the author on her writing process and the autobiographical nature of her story, illustrating the truth behind the fiction."--Jacket. |
