A new chapter in love and community

After heartbreak, a divorced, perimenopausal mother begins dating ten women, describing the exploration as her “lesbian adolescence.” Her best friend and a growing community accompany her as she considers what it means to remake a life midstream. The premise brings courtship and friendship into the same frame, with questions about identity, connection, and how a person recognizes a new sense of arrival. The novel’s focus on a mother navigating change gives those questions a specific context: not a blank-slate beginning, but a search unfolding within an already established life.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in fiction about midlife change and rebuilding after heartbreak.
  • Readers drawn to stories centered on friendship, courtship, and community.
  • Readers seeking a novel that explores lesbian identity and relationships.

Book overview

After a brief, head-spinning affair leaves her heartbroken, a divorced, perimenopausal mother sets out to date ten women in exploration of what she calls her lesbian adolescence, a quest she takes on with the ride-or-die support of her best friend and the small but mighty community she gathers along the way.

 

From the award-winning author of Stiltsville and Sea Creatures, two beloved novels about the slippery terrain of love and marriage, and inspired by her award-winning short story, "The Goddess of Illicit Choices," comes a lively and taut exploration of friendship, courtship, community, and all the shades in between. At its heart, Girlfriending asks: How do we remake our lives midstream, and how do we know when we've arrived?
