"A deeply personal account of a third grade teacher's discovery of her 'third sex' passion and desire of a 'twilight woman.' First Person, Third Sex breaks away from the genre norm of lesbian paperbacks in that it ends on a gay-positive note, rather than having the protagonist meet with tragedy for her sins of the flesh or meet a male she falls head over heels with, marries, and lives forever after in heterosexual marital bliss.
