Product Description:
Lesbian: Historical Fiction - "Luke" Hamilton has always been sure that she'd never marry. She accepted that she would spend her life alone when she chose to live her life disguised as a man. After working in a brothel for three years, Nora Macauley has lost all illusions about love. She no longer hopes for a man who will sweep her off her feet and take her away to begin a new, respectable life. But now they find themselves married and on the way to Oregon in a covered wagon, with two thousand miles ahead of them. 1851 Oregon Trail

Great characters, interesting plot, realistic depiction of the grueling journey on the Oregon Trail, and a happy ending!
I especially liked that Luke was strong and capable, smarter than most men, but not
able to win physical fights with men. Jae gets two thumbs up for making Luke

she knew she couldn't win. Too many lesfics have kick-ass, infallible, unbeatable
and unrealistic heroines. ... Read More

Jae writes with a gentleness that has been missing in gay women's fiction. Unfortunately, this story has too much "Ladies of the Evening" telling that keeps it from being totally enjoyable.

I really loved this book. You can just feel and imagine what it was like on the Oregon trail. Very well written.

I felt that Jae's writing in Backwards to Oregon was very average in quality. There wasn't anything very compelling in how she writes and especially in the second half of the book was much too repetitive for my tastes. I get really irritated when the same thoughts are expressed by characters or the same explanations are given over and over again. However, given that she is evidently German I think that even being an average writer in English is an impressive accomplishment.
Jae is a good story teller ... Read More
