Joanie's Triumph

By Denise P. Eggleston and Ms Denise P. Eggleston

Joanie's Triumph is a story about a romance that helps heal two women. The first woman was shattered by a violent sexual assault. She lives as a virtual recluse even though, deep down, she knows she can offer the world so much. The second woman is afraid of her very nature; afraid that people might discover her darkest secrets. Neither of them knows how to fix themselves. Over the span of a little more than one week, their worlds turn upside down. During that time, they find love, they find friendship, they find sorrow, and they find themselves. Joanie's Triumph, set in Austin, Texas, is for any lesbian who has ever fallen in love with a straight woman. It is for any straight woman who has ever needed love and understanding from another woman. It is for any man who has ever wondered what two women can see in each other. It is for any woman who can never understand what another woman sees in a man. It is for any one who can feel love. It is a frank examination of women, their friendships, and their sexuality. Excerpt From Joanie's Triumph: "...like the hawk that had sat in a tree above her once bloody head and body. The hawk didn't care what had happened. For the hawk, life was good and sweet, bright sun chased away the night, and food abounded. What had the hawk-now Joanie's mind's eye-cared about the movement and noises of strange wingless creatures struggling near the base of its tree?"
