A Place For Us by Isabel Miller

A Place For Us

Isabel Miller

It was popular enough to be reissued in hard cover by a mainstream publishing house in 1972 as Patience And Sarah. It is a very sweet little tale based on a true story in which two women moved out to the frontier of western New York, with one passing as a man so they could live and love together.

A lesbian novel about two women in 1816 living together in Connecticut’s Housatonic Valley. Based on the life of American folk artist, Mary Ann Wilson. This is the original self-published edition sold by Routsong outside meetings of the New York chapter of the Daughters of Bilitis.
