No wonder Jean and Shayna are best friends. Jean Carson is a teacher, striving to make a difference to her students. Shayna Bradley is an attorney, determined to help lesbian mothers keep their kids. Shayna has her life under control, has things just how she likes it: her own law practice and a girlfriend and, always, her best friend Jean. For Jean, it\u0026#8217;s different. There\u0026#8217;s always Shayna. There are her students too but there\u0026#8217;s also a husband, and he\u0026#8217;s anxious for kids. She\u0026#8217;s made excuses, but she knows it isn\u0026#8217;t fair. She\u0026#8217;s short-changing him, and she\u0026#8217;s short-changing herself. She must find the strength to leave. And then she must find the courage to face facts: Shayna is more than a friend. It\u0026#8217;s a new reality, and one that catches both women unawares. And when the school board learns of Jean\u0026#8217;s \u0026#147;situation,\u0026#8221; suddenly Jean and Shayna face greater risks to their happiness and their dreams than they ever anticipated. Dedication. Passion. Commitment. They may not be enough.\u003cI\u003eMirrors\u003c/I\u003e was shortlisted for a Lambda Literary Award when it was first published in 2001.\u003cBR\u003e\u003c/div\u003e |
