Women loved women way Back Then. This original 8000-word short story may be short in length, but it's not short in passion for these young women It is the late 1800's. Giovanni Mancuso and his young bride, Falisa, board a colossal ship to find a new and prosperous way of life. She didn't realize how much she longed for the touch of a woman until the stranger arrived at the door. She's just young enough and brave enough to allow herself a new experience. It's a story of coming of age and an elusively tantalizing epiphany about her sensuality.
