The woman closest to the edge suddenly steps off the mountain, her body suspended in air for a timeless moment—and the woman who falls, continues to fall through out the book in this sexually charged pursuit and mystery fused in the lives of three lesbians. A story of falling, flight and return.

Excerpt
Her binoculars saw two women standing at the edge of a mesa. She sucked in her breath. The person facing her was a woman. Surely it was a woman, but there was a thick growth of facial hair on her chin. The woman whose back faced her was retreating from the woman with the beard. Her left foot stepped closer to the round eyes of the binoculars. Alethea moved to readjust the focus, but as she did, the woman fell backward into space, her body suspended in air for a timeless moment.
Just a simple gathering of the Gay & Lesbian Activist Association of New Birch and Sipsboror (GLAABS) and we plunge down a hilarious ride to perdition.
Martin Powers wanted an ironing board for Christmas. Instead, he got . . . Matthew Kieler, a non-returnable gift, but a gift that kept on giving. A powerful tale of survival, compassion and unapologetic love in the time of AIDS.
