Beginnings
Lesbians Talk About the First Time They Met Their Long-Term Partner
Lindsey Elder
In each of these tales, there is a moment when sparks flew. ‘I was almost blinded by her electric light,’ writes Delane Daugherty, ‘and astounded at how everything else dimmed a little.’ Jules Torti agrees: ‘She was the one; I knew this instantly.’ For Shilpa Mehta, ‘it was as if, for a moment, time had stopped just for us.’ And then there’s Merrill, who made such a bad first impression on Mary, the beautiful new dyke in town, that when she asked her to call sometime, Mary looked away and said: ‘We’ll see. But I don’t think so.’ Some of the most touching stories in Beginnings describe situations in which women were forced to break up families and long-term relationships to be with each other, compelled to seek happiness even at the risk of causing pain. A warm read for a chilly night; balm for incurable romantics. –Regina Marler
