WINNER of the 2024 LAMBDA Literary award for Best Lesbian Memoir/Biography!'A rare treat ... utterly fascinating' Julia Armfield | 'Compelling, loving stories of lesbians' New York Times | 'Full of warmth and hope - readable, inventive and scholarly' Sunday Times | 'Thoroughly enjoyable' Paula Akpan | 'Gorgeously, quintessentially lesbian' Lily Lindon | 'A glowing mosaic of shared experience' Kate Charlesworth | 'A radical act of queer love' Kestral Gaian | 'An incredible, affirming book' Lois Shearing | 'I love this book' Alim KherajLesbian Love Story is a genre-defying history of sapphic romance like no other. On her quest to discovering lesbian role models from the past, Amelia Possanza uncovers seven incredible love stories in the archives. Expertly blending her subjects' own words with richly imagined and vigorously researched moments from recorded archives and other fragments, Possanza weaves together a vivid narrative around the construction of lesbianism. She takes us with her as she uncovers each lesbian's story, yearning and longing alongside them and growing into her own queerness. This is a celebration of women who love women - sapphics - and a paean to those who have long existed outside of traditional definitions of sexuality and gender, defying the confines of heteronormativity. Each of the lesbians in this collection moved through the world in their own way and helped the world. Their stories illuminate a forgotten and demonised history and show us all a new way to understand what love means when there is nothing material to be gained.

Native retelling of Christmas story
Format: Hardcover
Birth of the Chosen One is a beautiful retelling of the Christmas story. I will say that I struggled with the reading of it from the aspect of years (and years) of hearing and reading the original version. I can see where Birth of the Chosen One could be a good introduction to Christianity for First Nation Peoples or Native Americans. I appreciated that Terry Wildman has both Ojibwe and Yaqui heritage. I also appreciated that the illustrators are members of the Miami tribe. Experience as a tribal member gives these three the authority to present a Native American version of the story. The book closes with a note from Terry Wildman that will help readers keep track of the Native American names in the story. I received a complimentary copy of Birth of the Chosen One. This is my honest review.

Just the most beautiful book
Format: Hardcover
I bought this for me grandchildren to give them a refreshingly different perspective from the traditional Christmas story which most often features white characters which, in all reality, were most definitely brown. It's a treasure, and I'd recommend every family to purchase a copy.

Great information
This book is a good place to start and revisit every few years for newly weds. Even better for premarital counseling couples. The other books in this series are good too!
