Touchwood

Twenty-nine-year-old Rayann Germaine, betrayed by her lover, flees in grief and rage. She meets rare book store owner Louisa Thatcher, a woman many years her senior, who offers shelter and work... and soon, passion, and a loving place in her life. But Rayann encounters challenges to this new love -- from friends who question its wisdom, from her mother who disapproves of this liaison with a woman her own contemporary, from Louisa's son who learns for the first time his mother's true sexuality. And there are profound differences between Rayann and Louisa themselves, two women who come from dramatically different places in the spectrum of age and life experience. The first page will draw you into this entertaining, erotic, thought-provoking exploration of love, and of that landscape of the mind known as age.ReviewAnd if you think older women can't keep up with younger women sexually, well, think again! -- Bay Area Reporter, 02/92Touchwood...addresses with wisdom, compassion and delight, the most profound questions of who we are. -- Deborah Peifer, February 7, 1992From the PublisherFrom the author of numerous best-selling and critically acclaimed lesbian novels comes a story like no other!
