What happens when you put one “way out” liberal lesbian sister and one straight, far right, conservative, religious sister in the same room? You get the dynamic of probably 5-10% of modern American families; that’s what happens!
Author Erin Quinn O’Briant has, in a novel, nailed scenes playing out in kitchens and living rooms everywhere with characters that so resemble people that many lesbians know (or know of) that you may find yourself looking over your shoulder to see if the author is watching you and your family. Her book is the June 2010 Lit Books publication, Glitter Girl
Gloria is one of two daughters of 1960s era hippie parents who still live a laid back, liberal lifestyle that shuns God, organized religion and most forms of big business and government policies. Gloria’s sister, Angie is her polar opposite: a right wing, deeply religious conservative who left the family nest. The sisters disagree on everything but love each other anyway.
This book will have you turning pages and laughing out loud. One caution: If you’re a sensitive, God fearing, right wing conservative you probably shouldn’t read it. It may just make you mad. Ms. O’Briant has a knack for satire which she employs effectively with characters that reflect extreme stereotypes like, for example, the ultra hippie parents. Do remember that this is a work of fiction that’s comedy based. You’ll be fine if you can take it in the spirit in which it was intended.
