Synopsis

A daring debut collection of fiction and poetry by lesbians about the men who share their lives. These women strip back the myths that lesbians have always been involved with women, that lesbians hate men, that lesbians do not consider sleeping with men, that lesbians have only women as significant forces in their lives. They write with honesty, caution, anger, sadness and love about brothers, lovers, fathers, grandfathers, sons, friends -- even about parts of themselves. And they share tales of trust honoured and abused, loves lost and loves found, sorrow and joy.
