A funny, moving account of small-town life from the point of view of a pregnant lesbian. Novelist Louise A. Blum tells how a quiet, conservative town in an impoverished stretch of Appalachia reacts as she and a local woman, Connie, fall in love, move in together and decide to live openly. The town responds in radically different ways, from prayer vigils on the village green to a feature article in the family section of the local newspaper. It is a cautionary and celebratory tale of being different in America, and of two women and the child they decide to raise right where they are.
