The Tomb of The Divers
The Tomb of the Divers (available through Amazon) is a multi generational story about Italian immigrants who travel from the south of Italy to New Jersey at the turn of the century and eventually wind up in Buenos Aires. Definitely queer, the novel finds a solution to the unified heterosexual family (that the female narrator tries to trace) in a queer escape that almost brings the novel to a close.
A Colorful Life: Chasing the Inexplicable
https://www.amazon.com/Colorful-Life-Chasing-Inexplicable
Connie Greaser
This autobiography takes the reader through an exciting life filled with strange and wonderful adventures. It covers such experiences as drifting around the world when it was a very different place, spending time with Mother Teresa and the Dalai Lama, visiting various ashrams and foreign religious healing centers, and hanging out with alleged UFO abductees. It even describes a spiritual experience that occurred during brain surgery. Originally conceived as a “life diary” for the author’s great nephews, its only intention was to encourage them to follow their dreams and to accept things that sometimes seem inexplicable. However, over the years the manuscript gradually took on a life of its own when pieces and chapters began to slip out to friends, resulting finally in this book. It documents one woman’s true adventures in all corners of the world as she tries to make spiritual sense of it all.
Stony the Road We Trod: the Grimke Family's Journey from Slavery to Suffrage
Rosemary T. Curran
This fact-based historical fiction is the story of the two exceptional sisters from a slaveholding family, Angelina and Sarah Grimké, whose abolitionist public speaking and writing in the late 1830s convinced thousands of hearers of the evils of slavery. The high level of opposition to women speaking in public caused even some of the sisters’ abolitionist colleagues to object. This led to their becoming among the very first public advocates for women’s rights and suffrage.
But it is also the story of Sarah and Angelina’s mixed-race nephews, Archibald and Francis Grimké, the children of their brother, Henry, and his slave mistress, Nancy Weston.

Travels Into Discomfort
Kim Kieler
Journey into Discomfort is a reflection on my backpacking journal from 1980. I am a 26-year-old lesbian-in-the-making whose life explodes, and I set off searching for an emotional Exlax to rid myself of my internal discomfort. Because my life has been a trail of "Oh, I shouldn't have done that." decisions, I chose to backpack through Asia. My internal discomfort can now be mirrored and amplified externally. One-eyed, one-armed machete-carrying innkeepers, train derailments, and floating bodies will light my path, and there will be a thousand ways to die at the hands of tour guides. But there will be great beauty as well. Kim

Lesbians in Bed
Brittny Roberts
Lesbians in Bed: Reading Haikus is a reflection of my journey learning to love myself while discovering what it means for me to be a queer femme lesbian. The chapters within are a mix of romance, erotica, and little lessons that lesbians can either relate to, identify with, or laugh out loud at. Basically, there’s something for everyone. Especially, the late blooming lesbians like me. Please enjoy!

Lesbians on The Loose
Sheryl Berk
A book of poetry...and drawings.
From the Introduction: In the two decades during which most of this book was written, and the drawings penned, half of us didn’t know what we were, and the other half didn’t know what we were doing. So, we did it all, became it all, cried at it all and laughed at it all.
We were crazy, drunk with the power of finding places to meet our own kind, and cute…we were very cute. But crazy. We were hot with desire, money, fashion, cool facades and shaky interiors. We drank too much, smoked too much, partied too much and wasted a lot of time.
