Early Embraces: True Life Stories of Women Describing Their First Lesbian Experience

This book is simply yummy and shows how beautiful (and frustrating!) relationships can be between women. These real life accounts are filled with emotion and personal touches, leaving me wanting more. If you are like me and prefer real stories to fiction, buy this book. It also makes a great book for women who think they might be bisexual or lesbian to read.

This was my first lesbian book I've ever read. It helped me realize what is in store for me in my future as I had just realized I am a lesbian. I also bought the book as a gift for a friend who helped me come out. We experienced the book together and were delighted by it to say the least. It does not include S & M or any other types of bondage. I cannot imagine a more perfect book to help me come to terms with my own sexuality. Reading it for the second time through is as good as the first time as I'm sure my third and fourth time will feel. Thank you to all the brilliant authors for sharing their wonderful stories of first times.

I loved this book. Espcially the story "Brown Shoes" by Rita Schiano. Maybe I'm partial because I thought her book "Sweet Bitter Love" was sexy, exciting, and a real page-turner.Read This book....Read Schiano's book, too!

Lesbians, you will know what I am talking about. By counting all of my fingers and toes, I would still run out of digits to answer the question asked to me by straight women and men and my gay boy friends: "How do women do it? " How does one answer this question? Or does the question deserve an answer? It is up to the lesbian. One way to answer this question is to refer the inquiring minds to the book, "Early Embraces." It is a collection of stories by women throughout the United States, describing their first-time experience with another woman. This collection will bring memories back to the experienced and allow the inexperienced a look into the passion that is ours to share with another women. It acknowledges our feelings, including the sometimes awkwardness and often joyfulness of the lesbian lifestyle. [...]I believe this book deserves a rating of all 10 of my fingers and all 10 of my toes. It receives a full digit review! Julie L. Shaffer was homegrown in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and she has been recently transplanted in Seattle via a John Deere tractor. Apparently, Julie has a collection of wonderful implements. That's farm implements, you know.

My best friend gave me this book as a Christmas gift last Christmas. Once I started reading it, I could not put it down. This is one of the best books on lesbian love. I loved the way the author had plenty of sexual stories, but she also had the emotions added right in. It was remarkable. I highly suggest it to anyone who loves to read about lesbian sex. Give it to a friend who may be having a tough time with the thought of being a lesbian. They will realize that the emotional ties a woman shares when they have sex with another woman in unbelievable. I truely loved this book.
