This story is a compelling revelation of love between women who were raised in the heart of America and had to break every norm and tradition to find their way to each other. It's a magnificent tale, told in two honest voices. You'll come to know Bonnie and Jane as they come to know each other and their story will open your heart and mind to the full range of love's expression. -Christina Baldwin, author of Storycatcher: Making Sense of Our Lives through the Power and Practice of Story
