How would it be with another woman? There was no guide to it in the magazines, the movies or the girls' talk at school — nothing but pulp novels filled with vague hints and half-revealed details. Could there really be fulfillment for her in loving a woman? Was it possible? Erika wasn't sure, but after meeting Kate she hoped with all her heart it could be true.

A World Without Men is an engrossing novel that tells the love story of Kate and Erika. When they meet, Kate is living in a residential hotel and trying to get her life back together. Haunted by hidden terrors that give her nightmares, and wracked with guilt for something she can't quite remember, Kate welcomes the tenderness and affection offered by Erika. Erika, too, is haunted... haunted by flashbacks of her experiences during World War II. Can love heel these two women and bring peace and joy to their lives?

In a novel of need, passion and love, author Valerie Taylor gives us another deeply moving, deeply introspective and intimate novel of lesbian love. A World Without Men tells the story of two young women committed each other and a love they refuse to deny.
