Editorial Reviews

"The emotions flying between the two women who tell their story here is as dramatic as the Appalachian Trail and as tumultuous as the Atlantic Ocean. These natural elements are a perfect backdrop for the revelations of love which both repel and engage them."

Book Blurb - Jewelle Gomez

"The storytelling is refreshing and charming! I fell in love with both Alex and Cate. This book made me want to grab my gear and hit both the trail and the coast..."

Book Blurb - Renee MacKenzie

"In the Direction of the Sun, by Lucy Madison, provides the reader with a kaleidoscope of colorful views. Shifting scenes between the mountains and the sea, the past and the present, she never lets us lose focus on the emotional intensity of two women who passionately love one another."

Book Blurb - Shelley Thrasher

Madison lets her characters pull no punches. We see the rage, frustration, and aggression Alex expresses on being rejected and can sense Cate's fear of rejection and commitment which has closed her off to the possibility of a loving relationship. Her nature descriptions of Cate's sailing adventures and Alex's Appalachian Trail hike are first-rate and make this a must-read. It's a brilliant character study and an engaging and powerful romance. It's most highly recommended. 5 Stars.
