A Novella
When you live in a small town and you are a lesbian, true love
is hard to find. Leni, a blue collar lesbian, is in despair. Even a date appears
to be too much to ask for. Love interests or lack of them aside, Leni likes
living in the town she was born in and being with her family.
Leni’s life is about to change when she gets a new job as a
nightshift chef at the Jester’s Court, a busy roadside truck stop. Leni meets a
reclusive woman nicknamed Yak. Leni is in awe of Yak. But despite her best
efforts, she can’t find out why Yak is a loner and why everyone is avoiding her
like she has the plague. When events take a turn for the worse and Leni learns
the truth about Yak, she has to decide whether falling even more in love with
Yak will be worth paying the price.
A wonderfully well written story that left me wanting more. I
loved the characters of Leni and Yak. They are so vastly different from each
other and not only from the class divide aspect, Leni is outgoing, Yak is a
loner and has an air of mystery surrounding her. I loved the interaction between
the two of them.
For a short book, there is a lot crammed into it. The touch of
mystery and suspense throughout kept me turning the pages until all too soon I’d
reached the end.
I’ll be watching out for more from Lois Cloarec Hart in the
future.
