Staying Home by Elisabeth Nonas

The family many lesbians create for themselves. The family they risk losing by revealing - and living - the truth of themselves.

Molly Rubin and Alix Chase want a baby. Alix, a classical violinist, has embarked on a medical regimen to become pregnant. Molly, a fine-art restorer, supports Alix's decision until Alix's efforts turn into the overriding issue of their lives.

The more driven Alix becomes, the more anxiety Molly feels about the drastic changes that lesbian parenthood will bring. Alix and Molly's families exert their own pressures on the couple...

Finally, Molly yearns only to have their former life back. And 'baby' threatens to rip the fabric of their entire relationship .

STAYING HOME takes you into the very heart of parenthood. STAYING HOME will evoke your own childhood and family life. STAYING HOME is a finely wrought story by one of our finest chroniclers of contemporary lesbian life.
