September Lessons

A Year in Paradise, Book 9

By: Hildred Billings

Narrated by: Rachel Leblang

Welcome to Paradise Valley, where the locals thrive on the rural landscape, the quirky Oregonian living, and the history of the lesbian commune that founded it.

Mixing small town attitudes with lesbian dating? Sounds like another day in Paradise.

On the first day of senior year in a new school, Alabaman transplant Carrie Sage meets the girl of her lesbian dreams. Too bad the mayor’s daughter is a bit too straight to go for a troublemaking Southerner like Carrie.

Enter Leigh-Ann Hardy, the only girl in Clark High School who knows a thing or two about the girl Carrie crushes after like it’s Valentine’s Day. After all, Leigh-Ann and the mayor’s daughter used to be best friends.

While Carrie navigates life in a brand-new place that automatically labels her more trouble than she’s worth, Leigh-Ann faces a truth she’s been suppressing her whole life in Paradise Valley.

She might be a little bit gay. It only took the new girl to make her see that!

Young love

It was a nice change to hear about Paradise Valley from a teenager’s point of view. Leigh-Ann is struggling with losing her best friend and coming to terms with her sexuality. Carrie is trying to finish high school and stay out of trouble. Unfortunately trouble finds them both but brings them closer together. I am really excited to listen to the next story. The narrator did a very good job.
