تاچ‌وود - نسخهٔ سی‌امین سالگرد

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. 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. 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.
