Not Telling Mother: Stories from a Life

Diane Salvatore

Stories from the lives of lesbian couple Renee and Celia, and the extended family that surrounds them.

Celia and Renee are on a Provincetown vacation with two other couples when Renee learns that best friend Edie has begun an affair. Edie’s call upon Renee’s loyalties sets into motion an unexpected chain reaction.

Celia’s parents live next door to a couple who believe the Virgin Mary will soon appear to them. Celia’s discovery that her supposedly skeptical father is secretly interested uncovers a deeply affecting new truth about him…

At work, Renee is out of the closet and accepted – apparently. What does she do when she’s invited to a company cocktail party, without Celia?

And why is a baby, which has brought joy into the lives of friends Chrissie and Elaine, bringing doubt and questions into Celia and Renee’s relationship?

And much, much more. About a wedding that is anything but what it appears. About the woman who was in love with Renee’s mother. About a nun. About gay-baiting, about the closet. About choices, about life’s sheer unpredictability.
