Heretic : a memoir / by Kadlec, Jeanna,author.;
Includes bibliographical references.Jeanna Kadlec knew what it meant to be faithful--in her marriage to a pastor's son, in the comfortable life ahead of her, in her God--but there was no denying the truth that lived under that conviction: she was queer and, if she wanted to survive, she would need to leave behind the church and every foundational building block she knew. Heretic is a memoir of rebirth. Within, Kadlec reckons with religious trauma and Midwestern values, as a means of unveiling how evangelicalism directly impacts every American--religious or not--and has been a major force in driving our democracy towards fascism. From the story of Lilith to celebrity purity rings, Kadlec interrogates how her indoctrination and years of piety intersects with her Midwest working-class upbringing. As she navigated graduate school, a new home on the East Coast, and a new marriage, another insidious truth began to reveal itself --that conservative Christianity has both built and undermined our political power structures, poisoned our pop culture, and infected how we interact with one another in ways that the secular population couldn't see.

Bridget takes to brothel life instantly, appreciating the good food, good pay, and good friendships she forms with her fellow 'sporting women,' even catching the eye of the town's Sheriff's Deputy, who offers the Queen protection and security. Then, Spartan Lee--the most legendary (and only) female gunfighter in the region--rides into town, and Bridget falls in love"--

Blood on the tide / by Robert, Katee,author.;
"As a bloodline vampire, Lizzie has never had a problem taking what she wants, and right now what she wants are the family heirlooms that were stolen from her and a portal home. Too bad even that short list is impossible to accomplish on her own-and her allies have bigger things to worry about. When they rescue a selkie from captivity, it's the perfect solution to her problem. Lizzie needs a guide through Threshold and the selkie needs someone to help her get her skin back. Maeve didn't choose to give up her skin-it was stolen from her. Now she's in an uneasy partnership with a dangerous woman who seems more apt to kill than to share a kind word. It's terrifying ... and a bit alluring. Even though she knows it will end in heartbreak, Maeve can't help being drawn to Lizzie and her all-too-pleasurable vampire bite. Unfortunately, the danger to Maeve's heart is the least of her worries. The ship Lizzie's chasing belongs to the Cŵn Annwn, and they don't take kindly to people who steal from them. Not even Lizzie's viciousness or Maeve's selkie strength will be enough to save them if the Cŵn Annwn seek retribution ... "--

Once a realm of decadence and beauty, Briar is now wholly Alyce's wicked domain. And no one will escape the consequences of her wrath. Not even the one person who holds her heart. Princess Aurora saw through Alyce's thorny facade, earning a love that promised the dawn of a new age. But it is a love that came with a heavy price: Aurora now sleeps under a curse that even Alyce's vast power cannot seem to break. And the dream of the world they would have built together is nothing but ash. Alyce vows to do anything to wake the woman she loves, even if it means descending into the monster Briar believed her to be. But could Aurora love the villain Alyce has become?

Curiosities : a novel / by Fleming, Anne,1964-author.;
"A thrilling literary-historical novel with a modern twist, in the vein of Fingersmith by Sarah Waters and Fayne by Ann-Marie MacDonald. Curiosity begins when a present-day historian discovers a cache of five seventeenth-century manuscripts that each, astonishingly, tells the same strange story from vastly different points of view. The five manuscripts (which become the five parts of the novel) spin this tale: after the plague descends upon a village in England, two children, Joan and Thomasina, are the only survivors. They bond tightly with each other and with a mute woman living in a field nearby, who discovers and cares for them. When people return, the woman, as the lone adult alive, is accused of witchcraft, and the children are separated. Joan becomes a maid in the local manor house, and eventually, through her intelligence and skill, companion to the fascinating Lady Margaret Long. Thomasina, taken on a voyage to Virginia, decides to adopt boy's clothing and navigate life as a man named Tom. Tom and Joan find each other again as adults and fall in love, but are discovered together, naked, by young clergyman John Heard. Shocked and horrified, he believes in only one explanation for Tom's state: Joan must be a witch. Tom, trying to save both himself and Joan, runs as far away as he can, taking a position aboard an expedition through the Northwest Passage. The modern historian pieces together the interlocking stories of all five manuscripts and adds her own layer of "truth" to a history and time period where labels for who Tom and Joan might truly be, didn't yet exist. Curiosity is a compulsively readable novel, at the heart of which are characters who are utterly charming and whose journeys you'll feel deeply connected to."--

Ramona Blue / by Murphy, Julie.;
Ramona was only five years old when Hurricane Katrina changed her life forever. Since then, it's been Ramona and her family against the world. One of only two out lesbians in her small town and standing over six feet tall with unmistakable blue hair, Ramona knows she's destined for something bigger than the trailer she calls home in Eulogy, Mississippi. But juggling multiple jobs, her flakey mom, and her well-meaning but ineffectual dad forces her to be the adult of the family. Now with her sister Hattie pregnant, her responsibilities weigh more heavily than ever. The return of her childhood friend, Freddie, brings a welcome distraction. Ramona's friendship with the former competitive swimmer picks up exactly where they left off, and soon he's talked her into joining him for laps at the pool. Ramona is hesitant at first, but soon she finds herself called to the water in a way that makes all the other noise fade. As Ramona falls more in love with swimming, her feelings for Freddie begin to shift as well, and she must decide if knowing who she is is more important than figuring out who she might become.LSC
