Depending on the Light. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Oct 2008, Pages: 188
Some researchers describe women’s sexuality as
fluid, changeable, an acceptable condition. But
women who cross sexual boundaries experience
profound spiritual upheaval and are often singled
out by left and right ideologies as simply aberrant.
This creative nonfiction work blends narrative,
fiction, poetry, journaling, and research and
documents one woman’s drift into and then out of
lesbianism set against the spiritual backdrop of
Christianity. Heise chronicles the supernatural
processes and paradoxes of change even as she
sometimes struggles against it. She weaves in the
voices of others who’ve made the journey away from
loving women--even at great cost--and combines
genres to make plain one woman’s determined voice in
the wilderness of female sexuality. Women who seek
truth for themselves and their friends, as well as
those working in women’s studies, LGBT programs, and
gender issues will find this work accessible and
illuminating.
