Being Mother Courage - Paperback

Being Mother Courage joins the prior three books in Jan Anthony's eight-book chronicle -- Not to Be Denied, Gullibles' Travels, and Secret Transgressions.

In Being Mother Courage, Bea and Jan become the visibly out local lesbians with their feminist bookstore. With parents passing and ex-husbands getting the kids, Jan and Bea create women's groups and Goddess circles. They boldly confront the loss of Jan's cherished Door County land and her continuing job harassment despite her successes.

Humorous misadventures ride with them along Door County's precious land. Florida's Atlantic Ocean tests their scuba-diving skills. Mexico's road to and from Chichen Itza requires some spunk.

After they get a two-page manuscript, they illustrate, design, publish and promote Something Happened to Me, their children's sexual abuse book, which goes international and relocates their dream. Bea moves out of the confines of the local bookstore to sell their book to the world.
