"Tools of Ignorance:
Lisa's Story" (Book Two in the Clarksonville Series)
"The
unfolding of this tale will give lesbian teens a story to which they can
relate. Tentativeness, uncertainty, teetering toward honesty within themselves
and with their friends, are all a part of life and romance for young gay women.
The story gives teens a positive focus on their lives…. Tools of Ignorance: Lisa’s Story is another novel that deserves to be included in public and
high school libraries alike. As with previous Clanton novels, this one deserves
a read by adults and merits recommendation to teens much in need of stories to
which they can relate.”
Lisa
Brown is the starting catcher for the Clarksonville Cougars High School
softball team, and she has a major crush on her pitcher Marlee. Lisa continues
to carry her torch for Marlee, even when Sam, a rival softball player, flirts
sweetly. Lisa becomes more confused than ever when Tara, the first girl she
ever kissed and the first girl who ever broke her heart, resurfaces. Since
Marlee doesn't know Lisa's alive, should Lisa give up on her once and for all?
Sam seems to have secrets of her own, but Lisa wonders if she should over look
them and allow her fledging attraction grow for the pretty blonde or should she
fan the tiny flame still burning in her heart for Tara? Lisa faces these
problems and deals with society's tools of ignorance in her quest for love and
acceptance.
