Customer Reviews

Read This Book!

I heard about this book at a party. I've read short stories by the author before in Lesbian Bedtime Stories and Dykescapes and they were pretty good, but this book took me to another world. Hot lesbians running around the jungle all cloaked in a shroud of spirituality!I can't wait for her next book. Is The Ancestor the correct title? Does anyone know when it's coming out?

Awesome Book

Most lesbian novels are very formulaic, with no depth. Rites of First Blood is an amazingly intriguing story with love, passion, adventure, compassion and a deep exploration of fascinating issues. It's a sexy book, but it also made me think. What would you do if you found the person and life you loved, but keeping it meant completely abandoning everything you ever knew? I recommend this novel highly. Travel along as she opens her mind to explore healing, spirituality, love and strength in a tribe of women.

Really good

I read a selection of this book in another book. It was called Telling Mom. It was funny yet serious. It was the perfict monologue I was looking for. It was something that I showed all of my friends. If you are looking for a good book to use for Monologues I would say to use, The Actor's BOOK OF Monologues FOR Women.
