Grassy Flats by Penny Hayes

Grassy Flats

Penny Hayes

Set in Idaho in the Great Depression, this thrilling lesbian novel depicts the lives of two lovers, Nell and Aggie, who struggle from one day to the next to keep their farm. Matters are complicated when the prejudiced townspeople learn who they are and refuse to extend credit to them in between harvests. An uneasy alliance is drawn between the women and a married couple who are fugitives from the law, and no one–not even the town’s grim patriarchs–suspects what is about to happen. A powerful piece of storytelling!

Fate brings four very dissimilar people together… In Grassy Flats Idaho, lovers Nell and Aggie wake up warm and loving in each other’s arms. But they are struggling to survive on a farm where they scarcely manage from one mortgage payment to the next. And now the town has learned of their love. Merchants will no longer extend credit – lifeblood to all farmers – and Nell and Aggie face certain ruin. In depression-era Chicago, Clara Striker, with her hasband, Hank, in jail, seeks desperate harbor in a park – only to wake up in the stiff cold arms of a dead woman. Running from the law, Clara and Hank take refuge on Nell and Aggie’s farm. But Nell and Aggie’s alliance-for-profit with the brutish, unwilling Hank is uneasy and dangerous. Harvesting and selling the farm’s crops appears hopeless. But a woman named Tessie is drawn to Clara. And there is an unknown factor in the town of Grassy Flats – unknown to both Nell and Aggie and the domineering men of the town.
