I loved this book. It is a well written lesbian novel that is not a coming out story, is not a mystery, is not a tragedy, is not brain candy, and is a compelling read. Such books are hard to find. I loved the way it dealt with various lesbian relationships from lover to partner to friend. Be warned though, some of my friends had a hard time getting into it. In the first section you only hear one voice - the narrater's voice. It is like listening to one side of a telephone conversation. I obviously liked it, but others have not. That said, I must restate that I loved this book. I highly recommend it. It's a great read.

Making Love Visible is a remarkable compilation of stories about families. The Authors obviously spent a great deal of time with each family interviewing everyone and coming up with some moving stories. All the families have Gay and/or Lesbian members but the similarity ends there. This book shows a remarkable spectrum of family structure. All the stories left me with a sense of amazement at our country and the ability of people to have love in their lives. It's all stated so matter of fact, but none of the stories could be described as typical. I highly recommend this book to anyone in need of inspiration or insight into true American family values.

This book displays to the reader beautiful true stories that sum up the basis of every family: love. Making love visible is very important in today's society. If everybody read this book with an open-mind imagining their families in each of these stories, the world would be a much better place. Truly a book for all ages, Making Love Visible should be in every household.
