ALL IN THE SEASONING
A Holiday Anthology
Katherine V. Forrest
Celebrate the holidays . . . lesbian style
Celebrate solstice with a firefighter on the job in New York City . . . Journey with women along California’s rugged north coast . . . Experience Thanksgiving with a lesbian border patrol agent along the Arizona-Mexico border. Celebrate Hanukkah, in all its ceremony and meaning, at a lesbian bar. Observe Christmas with a lesbian couple in South Africa ... in Death Valley ... in San Francisco.
Here are the stories that celebrate our own traditions. Our diversity and strength. Stories about our love and our families and our connections. Our own holiday stories.
Indulge yourself and those you love with this sinfully rich assortment of holiday-themed tales by authors tried and true—Jane Rule, Katherine V. Forrest, Val McDermid, Lee Lynch—and by the new writers you’ll be glad you found.
