Explores the lasting commitments formed by gay and lesbian couples and their lives as spouses and parents through the personal accounts of more than one hundred couples. This description may be from another edition of this product.
Your local bookseller will have entire sections of books all about heterosexual relationships-- how come it took so long to get a true gay and lesbian relationship book that was this good? The good thing about this book, however, has to do with its sub-title: "Creating the Stories of Our Lives." Whereas other books of its genre seem to rest only on their author's self-proclaimed expertise, Martinac uses the book as a sort of collage. She explores relationships though all sorts of interviews and personal stories written by herself and other gay and lesbian people. This book doesn't tell you how your relationship should function, rather it tells how other relationships have, and thus you can relate your life to those in the book. I would definitely reccomend it-- Very inspiring!
Wonderful Work!!

Paula Martinac and Roberta Achtenberg have done the gay and lesbian community a great service in creating this warm and complete look at the current state of lesbian and gay relationships.I highly recommend it.
