A story of early love rekindled, and persistence overcoming obstacles
Format: Paperback
More than just a romance, this is a story of early love rekindled, and of persistence overcoming obstacles. The tale of Jo and Lauren spans two decades and takes the reader to London, Paris, California, and the Pacific Northwest. The plot moves briskly, with unexpected twists. If you expect a pickup in a laundromat, a brawl in a bar, or a love scene at a mountain campsite...you'll be surprised. The novel confronts the challenges faced by a same-sex couple trying to find a home in the days before marriage equality became widespread. Funny, tender, and heartbreaking by turns, A Place For Us will stay with you long after you turn the last page.

Worth reading!
Format: Kindle
Patricia Grayhall has written a sensitive and enlightening story that introduced me to the difficulties facing same sex couples before the countries of the world (absent a very few) became open to the reality of sexual attraction and love between same sex couples. A well written and good love story.

An international romance challenge that will keep you on edge

I I was intrigued with the complexity of just trying to live together with someone from a different country. This book clearly demonstrates the obstacles and I kept rooting for love to prevail.

A Must Read For Senior Sapphic Women
Format: Paperback
This is one of the best books for older sapphic women that I've ever read. It is so refreshing to not only have books for gay women but even better to have them for the "gray hair" crowd. Grayhall is a wonderful writer that keeps you spellbound. Three cheers for her.
