Capitol Hill resident since 1977 and former executive director of the Capitol Hill Arts Workshop Jill Strachan announces the publication of her second book Boundaries Books Crossings-One Lesbian Life 2.0.
The memoir tracks the experience of one Lesbian life, the shared realities of Third Culture Kids (as in a Foreign Service childhood), and the enduring impact of a world perspective. She tackles themes of universal social concern and social change with ion and ironic wit. Using archival letters and journals, she openly chronicles the process of adapting to Lesbian culture in DC in the 1980s and coping with the AIDS crisis by volunteering with DC’s Food & Friends and delivering to Capitol Hill clients.
The reader will discover the twenty-two essays are platforms for reflections on gender, sexuality, independence, family influence and multi-cultural learning. The book is available at East City Books and on Amazon.
