Sweet Creek

the long version

From the Back Cover: Lee Lynch creates an entire town peopled with sympathetic straights, homophobes, lesbians, loggers, and new age dykes, Campers, goddess worshipers, freeloaders, softball players, artists and writers, blue collar dykes who pump gas and paint houses, and druggies all come to Waterfall Falls searching for a lesbian paradise in the Spirit Ridge and Dawn Farm lesbian communities. Two left over lesbian hippies, now in their 50's Donny and Chick run the vegetarian, Natural Woman Foods store. In Donny, a black lesbian and Chick, her lover, Lee Lynch continues to depict the struggles of working class butch lesbians and femmes. With names like Jeep, Solstice, Rattlesnake, and Pennylane, Lynch remember that generation of women who pulled up stakes in the various cities and town across the U.S. to attempt to create a communal ideal of lesbian life.
