Produktbeschreibung

Julia Madison is having nightmares. Every night. All night. Painful and perplexing, the nightmares of a woman in captivity calling for help escalate until she is having them during the day, wide awake. Doctors prescribe pills. Therapists theorize about past lives and post-traumatic stress. Fortune tellers predict she will meet a tall, mysterious stranger. Julia would prefer to blame her ex, her job, even the Santa Ana winds. In spite of her long history as a loner, she turns to a support group for women with sleep disorders. To her amazement she learns that the other lesbians in the group-and only the lesbians-are having similar nightmares. No longer believing these vivid night visions are in their heads, the women join forces to find the source of their disturbance. Since Julia knows that her dreams focus on the woman she's named Sirena, finding Sirena is her number one priority. Convincing the other lesbians to help her comb the Mojave Desert is only the beginning of the adventure. Karin Kallmaker's story pits the power of sisterhood-and love-against the savagery of fear and hate. This title was originally published by Naiad Press in 1997, under the pseudonym of Laura Adams. It has been out of print for some time and we're thrilled to bring it back and certain that a whole new generation of readers will find Night Vision irresistible.

Bookmarks Richards LaBonte - Kallmaker transcends cliche with vivid characterization, logical plotting, and plenty of deep research... Friends and Family Her characters are so real you can't help but picture them in your mind... Lambda Book Report Carol LeMasters - The best romances don't simply evade issues; they offer us another way of dealing with them. After all, the issues with which these women struggle--homophobia, mortality, barriers of age and class--are ones we all encounter. More than enjoyable diversions, they can offer humorous insights into how we conduct relationships and truths we can take with us into "real life." Situations may be cliché but not the authors' treatment of them, and no matter how far-fetched the circumstances, the characters' emotional experiences ring true.
