No More Loneliness

"No More Loneliness" transcends the traditional book categories used by retailers. Yes, it is biographical and yes, the two heroines are lesbian, but there is far more to it than this. One thing it definitely isn't is misery lit. Two girls, one abandoned as a baby and with a whole series of failed foster placements behind her - the other physically abused for years by her sadistic father - meet in a Children's Home and become friends and then lovers. Their true life stories, told in poetry and prose, will amuse, frustrate and inspire even the most cynical reader. Information on the major traumas has been kept to a minimum. The focus is far more on the daily problems faced by young people who lack parental support and for whom friendships can make the difference between success and failure or life and death.
