Angered by this violence, Lindsey becomes involved in political organizing on behalf of the gay community.« less

Lindsey spends her summer break from graduate school as a waitress in Provincetown. Told in alternating first- and third-person voice, Lindsey's search for herself combines musings about "politically correct" thought with romance and eroticism. A good choice for reading on the beach this summer.
