The Price of Garlic
In the faraway kingdom of Hillstick, a fishmonger’s daughter seeks to break out of her family structure, where she ranks firmly below her twin brother, and start her own business by embarking on a quest for the elusive garlic plant. When Ruth entreats the royal family for help, the masculine Princess Orlanda volunteers to lead the accompanying guard—and prove her own mettle amongst a family of sons. Shackled to tradition and struggling with the best way to break free, surrounded in a ship full of navy men, the two women quickly form a close relationship on the adventure of a lifetime.
OUT EVERYWHERE AUGUST 1.
First Woman on Earth
Six years into a failing acting career and feeling permanently out of place, Billie can feel the off-kilter sensation consuming her more and more. Lesbian and nearly alone except her best friend Reese and her cat, Billie drifts from community to community that should be accepting—and starts to realize none of them were made for women like her.
Being in your twenties is already hard; but women in her acting circles look at her sideways, and the gay scene is pretty lonely since it’s designed by and for men. What do you do when the communities made for you, don’t have a place for you?
