A Colorful Life: Chasing the Inexplicable

https://www.amazon.com/Colorful-Life-Chasing-Inexplicable

Connie Greaser

This autobiography takes the reader through an exciting life filled with strange and wonderful adventures. It covers such experiences as drifting around the world when it was a very different place, spending time with Mother Teresa and the Dalai Lama, visiting various ashrams and foreign religious healing centers, and hanging out with alleged UFO abductees. It even describes a spiritual experience that occurred during brain surgery. Originally conceived as a “life diary” for the author’s great nephews, its only intention was to encourage them to follow their dreams and to accept things that sometimes seem inexplicable. However, over the years the manuscript gradually took on a life of its own when pieces and chapters began to slip out to friends, resulting finally in this book. It documents one woman’s true adventures in all corners of the world as she tries to make spiritual sense of it all.

Stony the Road We Trod: the Grimke Family's Journey from Slavery to Suffrage

Amazon

Rosemary T. Curran

This fact-based historical fiction is the story of the two exceptional sisters from a slaveholding family, Angelina and Sarah Grimké, whose abolitionist public speaking and writing in the late 1830s convinced thousands of hearers of the evils of slavery. The high level of opposition to women speaking in public caused even some of the sisters’ abolitionist colleagues to object. This led to their becoming among the very first public advocates for women’s rights and suffrage. But it is also the story of Sarah and Angelina’s mixed-race nephews, Archibald and Francis Grimké, the children of their brother, Henry, and his slave mistress, Nancy Weston. Their dramatic childhood experiences— their active enslavement and multiple escapes—and their illustrious adult careers as advocates for civil rights and women’s rights, exemplify the “stony road” trod by so many African Americans. But if this is a book about an unfinished historical and political struggle for human rights, it is at the same time a book about domestic struggles, love and heartbreak, personal choices, and personal lives, and how these inevitably intersect over three generations of Grimkés. The sisters' grandniece, Angelina Weld Grimke, was a bisexual poet and playwright of the early Harlem Renaissance. She is a major character in Volume II of this two volume work.

Travels Into Discomfort

Kim Kieler

Journey into Discomfort is a reflection on my backpacking journal from 1980. I am a 26-year-old lesbian-in-the-making whose life explodes, and I set off searching for an emotional Exlax to rid myself of my internal discomfort. Because my life has been a trail of "Oh, I shouldn't have done that." decisions, I chose to backpack through Asia. My internal discomfort can now be mirrored and amplified externally. One-eyed, one-armed machete-carrying innkeepers, train derailments, and floating bodies will light my path, and there will be a thousand ways to die at the hands of tour guides. But there will be great beauty as well. Kim

Lesbians in Bed

Brittny Roberts  

Lesbians in Bed: Reading Haikus is a reflection of my journey learning to love myself while discovering what it means for me to be a queer femme lesbian. The chapters within are a mix of romance, erotica, and little lessons that lesbians can either relate to, identify with, or laugh out loud at. Basically, there’s something for everyone. Especially, the late blooming lesbians like me. Please enjoy!

Lesbians on The Loose

Sheryl Berk

A book of poetry...and drawings. From the Introduction: In the two decades during which most of this book was written, and the drawings penned, half of us didn’t know what we were, and the other half didn’t know what we were doing. So, we did it all, became it all, cried at it all and laughed at it all. We were crazy, drunk with the power of finding places to meet our own kind, and cute…we were very cute. But crazy. We were hot with desire, money, fashion, cool facades and shaky interiors. We drank too much, smoked too much, partied too much and wasted a lot of time.
