Summary: A feeling, thinking novel that will stay with you for months
Review: Nanci Little's THIN FIRE is an extraordinarily fine book, filled with memorable, affecting characters and scenes. This novel will make you laugh, cry, cheer, and think. Most of all, it will make you feel. // I've read this book over and over, because I enjoy it so much, and because I find more to treasure each time through. // There are many themes here, but every one is given a rich and complex treatment. Just a few examples: lesbian self-discovery/coming out, rape & its aftermath, anti-gay violence, misogyny, the joy of learning, the beauty of nature, the Army, leadership, friendship, risk, trust, and love. Most of all love. By the end of this book, you will feel blessed to have met its women. // And to top it all off: (1) This book has one of the best first lines I've ever read - it totally hooks you from the first second, even though you may not have a clue what it means until the second page. (2) There's a gym weight room scene that is worth the price of admission, all by itself! This absolutely dead-on-perfect scene will have all women cheering.... You'll only wish you could see it happen in real life! All in all, this is a superb book. // (My only complaint about THIN FIRE? The book ends.)

Summary: An amazing book
Review: This is a beautiful book about coming of age, learning not to be afraid, and finding the courage to let another person into your heart. The author captures exactly what it feels like to know when you've met "the one", as well as what it feels like when you think you've lost her forever. It amazes me that more people haven't heard of this book, and that Nanci Little isn't more well known. Out of print, but definitely worth looking for.
