Beginnings
Lesbians describe the first time they met their long-term partner, detailing initial adventures that range from the wild to the mundane, from hilarious comedy-of-errors encounters to near-spiritual minglings of the soul. Whether meeting for the first time in a Laundromat or on a blind date, in a bar or at a parent-teacher conference, the women who tell their stories in this collection point up several important life lessons: that first impressions are not necessarily accurate, that romance can often come quite unexpectedly, and that a beginning frequently marks the end of a long, long search.
