Synopsis
The fairy tale, happily-ever-after expectation seems particularly prevalent among lesbians, no matter how brutal reality has proven. Marny Hall, Ph.D., a psychotherapist who works with lesbian couples, presents a reality check in this informative, entertaining guide to relationship struggles. Hall's two decades of counseling experience inform this practical yet reassuring volume, and plenty of anecdotes both from her practice and from her own life make it even more real and accessible. Full of vitally important dating and loving topics, including how to come back to life after a "bruiser breakup," ways to handle jealousy, and ceremony choices, this book will walk the lesbian reader through pitfalls specific to her way of life. Witty and stylish, this volume belongs on the shelf of every lesbian (or gay-friendly) reader looking for a little more smoothness along the path to love.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "When a couple comes to therapy for the first time, I check for membership insignia: the leather or tweed, the tattoos or gold earrings, the buzzcut or blond bob that will tell me whether my new clients belong to the butch/femme club or the crone clan, the punk or professional tribe of Lesbian Nation. Yet, as revealing as these dyke markings may be, they fade into insignificance during breakups. At such times, there is only one detail that counts: one partner wants to stay in the relationship; the other wants to leave."
Industry Reviews
"Witty, perceptive, and wise."
Book Jacket - Karla Jay
"With dozens of real-life examples, [this] highly creative guide to everyday relationship pitfalls is a veritable Kama Sutra of emotional possibility."
Book Jacket - Alison Bechdel
"A delightfully practical and funny guidebook to exploring life after love. No coy language and no judgmental presumptions help us say yes to the relationships we want. When you go shopping for the next commitment ceremony, 'The Lesbian Love Companion' is the perfect gift"
other - Jewelle Gomez
"[A] lively, smart, funny, and fun-to-read book that challenges our fairy tale notions that we will find one Ms. Right and settle down forever in undisturbed bliss. Hall...offers wise advice about how to keep one's sanity through the ins-and-outs of all these discombobulating and destabilizing experiences."
other - Lillian Faderman
"A wonderful book helping lesbians define our relationships on our terms--making a successful breakup as worthwhile as our commitments."- Suzanne Westenhoefer, lesbian comedienne
