Little Wild
Weyward meets Atonement in a shimmering debut novel of first love, betrayal, and revenge set on a crumbling British estate.
Suffolk, 1937. As the English countryside swelters in a historic heat wave, preparations for a party at Snare House are in full swing. The Winthers' only daughter, Joanie, is returning from a summer on the Continent, a flying visit before she leaves for university at Oxford. Only Margaret, longtime ward of the family and Joanie's closest friend, knows the truth: Joanie won't be going to Oxford. Instead, the two will be leaving the stultifying society they know to live together in London, as lovers.
Then the pair is discovered, and everything goes wrong. Banished to a cabin in the nearby woods, Margaret is alone with her estranged father. As summer curdles into autumn and magpies throng the forest, Margaret begins to lose herself. Her dreams turn dark and terrifying, and she wakes from them with dirt on the soles of her feet and scratches on her back. Everything suggests that a perverse power is awakening within her--perhaps the very one that led to her mother's ostracism and eventual death. If she can harness it, Margaret may be able to secure an approximation of the love she's always crave--but at what cost?
Little Wild is at once a feminist fairy tale, a haunting meditation on the dangers of desire, and a gripping debut from a talented new voice.

Welcome to Sapphic Society. This is what we stand for.
WE BELIEVE that every individual deserves to see themselves represented and celebrated in society.
--------------------------------------------
WE UNDERSTAND the power of representation, especially in a world where LGBTQIA+ people are systematically marginalized and discriminated against. At a time when laws are being passed that prohibit the teaching of queer existence and ban LGBTQIA+ books from public libraries, we refuse to be silenced.
--------------------------------------------
OUR GOAL is to educate the public on LGBTQIA+ topics and provide a platform for our community members and allies to escape into worlds where LGBTQIA+ perspectives are front and center.
--------------------------------------------
WE ARE founded by women who love women, but our community is for all who seek a space where they can belong and be themselves without fear of judgment or persecution.

How Alabama’s Decision on Frozen Embryos Hits LGBTQ+ Families Particularly Hard
Alabama’s groundbreaking ruling on February 16th has sparked yet another nationwide debate on women’s rights related to fertility, except this time, the effects land a particularly hard blow on LGBTQ+ families. The Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos have the legal status of personhood, meaning that destroying them is tantamount to murdering an unborn child. What does this all mean, why is it so important, and how does it affect queer families? Read for more. -
