Lesbians in Committed Relationships: Extraordinary Couples, Ordinary

Four lesbian couples celebrating long-term, monogamous relationships detail their lives together through a series of candid and emotional narratives that are at once heart-warming and heart-wrenching. Their stories define relationships that work, the pairing of partners who share a common bond of love, communication and respect, a bond not broken by oppression, discrimination, or lack of understanding. Rather than a how-to guide to making relationships work, this is a rich, layered history of four loving, working relationships that cross racial, socio-economic, age and education boundaries. Lesbians In Committed Relationships is a must-read for lesbians, either single or involved, as well as their families and friends, and for counsellors and therapists who work with couples.
