which her creativity and passion have
flourished.

Leah has trained extensively in mas-
sage therapy and has been working to
blend this work with her community
work. She has developed a pilot project
to explore massage and body work for
battered women and has implemented
parts of this project.

Leah is currently planning to attend a 4
year professional training in the Feld-
enkrais method. She says,

"The exciting aspect of this event is a
community attempting to create new
ways to share its resources - to bridge the
differences of class and access to

7‘ education that exist among us.

What an exciting vision - a possible
beginning of a scholarship fund for
continuing education - a lesbian and
women’s community student assistance
organization...

As community members, as extended
family members, we are part and partici-
pant, giver and taker.”

Stoner McTavish

Stoner McTavish
by Sarah Dreher

c. 1985 New Victoria Publishers, Inc., Box
27, Norwich, VT 05055
Stoner McTavish is a delightful les-
bian travel agent from Boston’s Beacon
Hill where she lives with her eccentric
Aunt Hermione. Aunt Hermione and
Marylou Kesselbaum, Stoner’s business
partner, coerce Stoner into helping out
Mrs. Eleanor Burton. It seems Mrs.
Burton’s granddaughter, Gwen, has gone
off and married a suspicious young man
who, according to Mrs. Burton, is only after
Gwen’s money. The ingenious Stoner
agrees and sets off on an adventure that
takes her to Grand Teton National Park.
Sarah Dreher is a mistress of imagery.
She will bring the Tetons to life for those
who have visited before and for the
vicarious traveler alike. Her characters
range from the all too human Stoner to the
more bizarre characters of Marylou and
Aunt Hermione but in the end the reader
loves them all.
I, like Stoner, "fell instantly in love

with the velvety voice and innocent, elec-
trifying touch of Gwen. This book will
make your heart skipabeat, will fill you
with rage, and generally take you along on
an adventure executed magnificently by
Ms. Dreher.

If you love this book as I do, you will
also enjoy the continuing stories of Stoner
McTavish found in Something Shady, and
§}_ray Mag}. I recommend all three as
light, entertaining, lesbian reading——en-
joy.
