Breathing Room by Barbara Fisher

'Bella Daniels is young, talented and strong-willed; she is also gay. A promising photographer, Bella is torn between her career and her desires. Should she strive for the top in a conventional art world? Or should she risk all for sexual freedom, no matter what the cost? Bella travels from New York's Greenwich Village to the power-driven world of Washington, D.C., and finally to the experimental cultures of the San Francisco Bay Area, seeking her truth.'
