Book Description
A master of award-winning queer historical fiction, New York Times bestselling author Robin Talley brings to life an emotionally captivating story about the lives of two teen girls living in an age when just being yourself was an incredible act of bravery. It’s summer 1977 and closeted lesbian Tammy Larson can’t be herself anywhere. Not at her strict Christian high school, not at her conservative Orange County church and certainly not at home, where her ultrareligious aunt relentlessly organizes antigay political campaigns. Tammy’s only outlet is writing secret letters in her diary to gay civil rights activist Harvey Milk…until she’s matched with a real-life pen pal who changes everything. Sharon Hawkins bonds with Tammy over punk music and carefully shared secrets, and soon their letters become the one place she can be honest. The rest of her life in San Francisco is full of lies. The kind she tells for others—like helping her gay brother hide the truth from their mom—and the kind she tells herself. But as antigay fervor in America reaches a frightening new pitch, Sharon and Tammy must rely on their long-distance friendship to discover their deeply personal truths, what they’ll stand for…and who they’ll rise against.

Book Description
Fifteen-year-old Aki Simon has a theory. And it's mostly about sex. No, it isn't that kind of theory. Aki already knows she's bisexual—even if, until now, it's mostly been in the hypothetical sense. Aki has dated only guys so far, and her best friend, Lori, is the only person who knows she likes girls, too. Actually, Aki's theory is that she's got only one shot at living an interesting life—and that means she's got to stop sitting around and thinking so much. It's time for her to actually do something. Or at least try. So when Aki and Lori set off on a church youth-group trip to a small Mexican town for the summer and Aki meets Christa—slightly older, far more experienced—it seems her theory is prime for the testing. But it's not going to be easy. For one thing, how exactly do two girls have sex, anyway? And more important, how can you tell if you're in love? It's going to be a summer of testing theories—and the result may just be love.

Book Description
Just Us Girls: The Contemporary African American Young Adult Novel is a welcome addition to the literary criticism in a field that deserves more critical study - African American children's and young adult literature.

Each chapter investigates cultural, social, and/or psychological issues examined by the writers that are prevalent in the actual lives of African American girls.

Defining their Destiny
Author: Calle J. Brookes
Publisher: Lost River Lit Publishing, L.L.C.
ISBN: 1948328372
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
HIS LITTLE SISTER'S BEST FRIEND? For Ben Tyler, his kid sister's closest friend Dusty—don't ever call her by her real name Destiny—Talley is always just around, giving him fits. That hasn't changed much over the years. Even though Dusty is a full-grown woman now. A full-grown, beautiful, tempting, maddening, desirable woman, fully capable of capturing unsuspecting thriller novelists like Ben with a single smile. Who knew Dusty could smile at a man like that? Could make Ben feel like that? So, what is a man supposed to do about a woman like her? Especially when that man is on a real deadline now? Avoidance is probably his best option. But that's rather hard to do when the wiring in his apartment goes out and Ben is forced to check in at the Talley Inn…Where his Destiny awaits. WHAT HAPPENS NOW? She is a Talley of Masterson County. Dusty has always known who she is, where she comes from. So why does she feel so confused now? Maybe it has to do with what happened to her before? Nearly being murdered eight months earlier had changed her—how could it not have? Now she's just…confused. About everything, really. Especially life. She's doing her best to figure things out. But...maybe… well… maybe Dusty really doesn't know what she wants right now. AND THEN THERE IS...BEN. Figuring out her best friend's annoying older brother does seem like a good place for Dusty to start. There is something different in the way that man is looking at her now. Something…hotter. More dangerous. Shiver-inducing and everything. Something that has her heart racing in a way she never imagined before. Is it any wonder Dusty was so confused right now? BUT TIME IS RUNNING OUT. But someone else from the Talley Inn has an even bigger problem. They witnessed something in Masterson County twenty-three years ago, something that put their entire family at risk back then. They've been running ever since. When Dusty crosses their path, choices have to be made. Choices that can change everyone's destiny forever. And answer questions that have haunted Dusty's family for decades now… They know one thing—one wrong move, and Dusty will pay the price. If Ben doesn't find her fast, he might just lose the woman he's destined to be with… forever. DEFINING THEIR DESTINY is a full-length, small-town western romantic suspense novel and part of the Masterson County connected stand-alone series. The Masterson County series contains scenes of violence, adventure, occasional dark criminal behavior, moderate cursing—especially by villains, a few mild-to-moderate love scenes, and references to subject matter that may distress some readers. The Masterson County books contain the same level of descriptive content as a typical crime drama on network television—but good always wins out in the end, guaranteed.
