Search in google:
Written in an intimate tone, this book takes readers through the experience of married women who discover they love women--from coming out to family and friends to first sexual experiences and finding acceptance. In the Life As Ms. Strock holds up glimpses of how different women have answered these questions, she offers a plea for the acceptance of our sexual selves, and the excitement of the continuing journey to self understanding.
