Overview

Mason's smash success self-published debut novel Taking the Long Way follows Natalia Torres from the moment she meets Bridget Reid as a child through the next twenty years. When Natalia realizes as a teen that her feelings for Bridget are more complicated than she thought, she is set on a course that tests her strength, relationships, and sense of self.

While finally getting the girl of her dreams could be the end of the story, she learns there is much more to be negotiated: family, friends, career, and pride. A testament to queer women's resilience, this story is uplifting and ends the way all Mason's novels do: happily.
