From the author of the best-selling Love, Zena Beth and Benediction comes a new novel with a story ripped from today's headlines..."I really don't think I can help you, Carly." As soon as the words... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Lela Johns, a reluctant high school teacher, finds herself in a tangled web of problems. First, Lela is a closeted lesbian who is scared to love and be loved. Add that to a student who reaches out for Lela's help in understanding her newfound sexuality, a group of parents who twist the facts, and a school board that is completely homophobic, and you have another great book by Diane Salvatore. This book is not a romance. It is a coming out story... both for the student and for the teacher. (Note - there is no romantic relationship between these women, but they learn much from each other.) It's an enjoyable read if you're looking for something deeper than a typical formula romance.
One of Our Own is One of the Best!

Truly one of the best lesbian fiction's I have read to date. Diane Salvatore has the ability to reach many emotions...all at once. Her characters are alive with passion, excitement and a realistic view of the world in which we live. She writes in such a way that it was impossible not to be captivated by their lives and how they were unfolding. It sounds cliche but I could not put it down and was sad when I got to the end. I have lent this to many friends and each of them found it to be extremely enjoyable...I hope you do also!
