Books like Beginnings by Lindsey Elder


Beginnings is a series of intimate essays written by lesbians who share the stories of their first encounters with their long‑term partners. From lively comedy‑of‑errors moments to deeply spiritual connections, each narrative illustrates how a single meeting can transform a life search into a lasting partnership. The book highlights key insights: first impressions are not always reliable; romance can emerge in the most ordinary or unexpected settings; and the start of a relationship often signals the end of an extended quest for connection. Readers gain a heartfelt look at the diverse paths that lead to love.

 by Lindsey

Being stranded in the desert with a broken-down gas-guzzler and an overactive pet hamster was no picnic, but resilient Paige Ruegger knew help would eventually arrive.

A former army brat, Paige always avoided military men, yet now she had no choice but to strike a bargain. Cooper was hardly ecstatic about traveling with a beautiful woman who showed Henry the Hamster more affection than she did him! But Cooper planned to use the miles ahead to change her mind. As their destination loomed closer, he set out to convince Paige that their journey together was just beginning .. . .

Gay and lesbian couples have gained a lot of legal ground in recent years. Although same-sex marriage is now legal across the U.S., laws governing civil unions and domestic partnerships continue to vary from state to state. It's still important to define your relationship in the eyes of the law--and A Legal Guide for Lesbian & Gay Couples can help. This plain-English guide shows you how to: have and raise children through adoption, donors, surrogacy, or foster parenting; jointly buy a house or other property; make decisions about living together, marrying, or registering as legal partners; make a will or living trust; make medical decisions for each other if needed; and deal with the end of a relationship. The 19th edition is completely revised to provide the latest on same-sex marriage and parentage laws.
