Timing the Heart by Gina Schien

Bonnie loves drums, music and women. She believes that one day she'll play in the perfect band and have the ideal girlfriend. For a while it seems possible. But ten years ago, the music industry didn't embrace dykes with short hair and Bonnie has to negotiate half-open closets, prying gossip writers, and a broken heart before she can learn the real art of playing. Timing the Heart is a story about lesbian sex, growing up, living with your girlfriend's children and finding a sound engineer with principles.
