Susan put her head against her chest so she would not have to look him in the eye. ‘Please help me, Ralp. I want to love you, but I can’t.’ Ralph stared down at the beautiful creature in his arms. By her own admission, she had been living a lesbian life – this lovely girl with whom he had fallen so desperatley in love. He did not know whether to hit her or kiss her. As she turned to look up at him, he saws a face ravaged by suffering and torment. He cradled her in his arms and said gently, ‘Yeas, Susan. I’ll help yoou. I’ll do everything within my power to make you love me.’

Excerpt: Thinking back, Susan couldn’t be quite sure when she first found out that Susan was a lesbian… Almost as soon as they were inside the door, Sharon began kissing her, covering her mouth with lips that were soft, tender and sweet. The knowledge that Sharon was a lesbian was a great shock. But an even greater shock was when she found herself returning those kisses. For the first time, Susan Rivers became aware of the startling fact that she too was UNNATURAL.
