There Will Be No Goodbyes

by Laura DeHart Young

This potent, utterly believable story of contemporary lesbian life and love and friendship will touch you to the core.

Liz (Buddie) Callow is a radio news reporter in Washington, D.C. She is caring for her closest friend, Chris, who lives on a horse farm in Virginia and has never needed Buddie more — Chris's health is increasingly precarious. Accompanied to a gay rights rally by a homophobic colleague, Buddie interviews high-powered organizer Kate McGowan and Buddie's already complicated life turns a new corner. Kate is alluring, charming, talented — but anguish from the past festers… a brother, dead in a boating tragedy in which Kate was involved… and, beautiful, dangerous first love Rachel, whose behavior in the past does not deter her plans for Kate's future. Buddie, somehow, must use the health of her own life to contend with homophobia in her job, to bring strength to Kate — and to Chris.

Really quite short, and not a traditional romance, but that ending did hit me quite hard.
