Downloading Faith In Love

Faith In Love is a lesbian novel for readers of every sexual identity. Written from the point of view of Faith, a wife, mother and football widow who works in a baker's shop in north London and shops in Tesco's in her lunch hour, it is lively, humorous, candid and challenging.

A passionate glance she wasn't meant to see, between two seemingly ordinary women, shows Faith a different view of the world, and sets her on the trail of a new way of life. On route she gets a fresh and surprising view of the people she thought she knew best — her soccer-mad husband, her school-age vegetarian daughter and herself!

Faith's journey advances through scenes of love and lust, sudden flashes of violence and queasy revelation, as, her curiosity aroused, she pursues one of the mystery women — at first in a playful way, and then more determinedly into the local lesbian bars. Her family life begins to unravel, as she realizes no one is who they seem to be and nothing is as it appears. Revelations and twists abound as Faith meets the twin challenges of her true sexual identity, and those of Eva, her alluring, amoral, ambivalent sister-in-law.

There is conflict and reconciliation in Faith's story; truth and lies. Some wounds are healed; some may never heal. But in the end, Faith has something more to confide. She is eager for further adventure — optimistic, romantic, and brimming over with Faith In Love.
