  <description><![CDATA[Twenty-nine-year-old Rayann Germaine, betrayed by her lover, flees in grief and rage. She meets rare book store owner Louisa Thatcher, a woman many years her senior, who offers shelter and work... and soon, passion, and a loving place in her life.  <p>But Rayann encounters challenges to this new love -- from friends who question its wisdom, from her mother who disapproves of this liaison with a woman her own contemporary, from Louisa's son who learns for the first time his mother's true sexuality.  <p>And there are profound differences between Rayann and Louisa themselves, two women who come from dramatically different places in the spectrum of age and life experience.  <p>The first page will draw you into this entertaining, erotic, thought-provoking exploration of love, and of that landscape of the mind known as age.</p></p></p>]]></description>

    <![CDATA[Twenty-nine-year-old Rayann Germaine, betrayed by her lover, flees in grief and rage. She meets rare book store owner Louisa Thatcher, a woman many years her senior, who offers shelter and work... and soon, passion, and a loving place in her life.  <p>But Rayann encounters challenges to this new love -- from friends who question its wisdom, from her mother who disapproves of this liaison with a woman her own contemporary, from Louisa's son who learns for the first time his mother's true sexuality.  <p>And there are profound differences between Rayann and Louisa themselves, two women who come from dramatically different places in the spectrum of age and life experience.  <p>The first page will draw you into this entertaining, erotic, thought-provoking exploration of love, and of that landscape of the mind known as age.</p></p></p>]]>
