A collection of stories from one of America's best-loved lesbian pensmiths. Ivan Coyote is famed for her tales of life as an out dyke on the roads and trails of the North and her plainspoken, honest pictures of rural America: now she turns her attention to the city, specifically in the East End of Vancouver - a diverse neighbourhood of all types communing at local coffee bars over hot rods, the art of skinny-dipping and changes in the weather.
