A
MAGNIFICENT
DISTURBANCE
Book 3 in The Rainbow Gap Quartet
XXThis
is not a good time for Berry Garland to realize her dream of opening
a womens health center. Florida has become more conservative,
and womens health raises a red flag. Berrys
intent to serve victims of domestic violence, gay women, migrant
workersdocumented or notmakes reliance on government
funding and the cooperation of local agencies precarious. When
the owner of Pansys Café donates space, though, MJ
Beaudry and her lover Vonnie Lowes brother volunteer to
revamp the space into a health facility.
XXBerrys
best friend, activist Allison Millar, is disgusted with the frenzied
hurricane of right-wing extremism, homophobia, and violence. As
mayor of Four Lakes, she helps navigate local bureaucracy. A community
of lesbians, neighbors, and patients rises up to protect this
critical resource from a shocking saboteur.
XXDespite
Berry and her partner Jaudon Vickers devastating life changes
at home, these everyday dykes and their friends will stop at nothing
to see the Center thrive. Their ideals, their wounds, and a steadfast
allegiance to one another render them heroes.
Lee Lynch's work is considered among the classics
and a cornerstone in the large and permanent foundation of lesbian
literature.

"From the beginning
of my writing career, I just wanted to write about lesbian/gay
life as I experienced it. Like so many, I came from a place of
great isolation. At the same time, being gay filled me with great
pride and joy. Writers Jane Rule, Isabel Miller, Radclyffe Hall,
Valerie Taylor, Ann Bannon, and Vin Packer gave me inspiration
and even the lesbian companionship I needed as a baby dyke. More
than anything, I want to give to gay people what those writers
gave me. And I want to do it well enough that my words might someday
be considered literature and, as such, might endure because, as
open as some societies have become, there are always haters, and
cycles of oppression. Our writers strengthen us, offer a sense
of solidarity and validation that we are both more than our sexualities
and are among the best that humanity offers."
Lee Lynch [1945 - ], American author, winner
of an Alice B Award in 2007 and named a 2010 Trailblazer by the
Golden Crown Literary Society, quoted from the book, An American
Queer: The Amazon Trail
