Two Strand River

by Keith Maillard

"Leslie is a young woman whose life has been set adrift since her career as a competitive swimmer ended. Alan is a gentle young hairstylist trapped achingly between a male body and female psyche. His transformation into Ellen is touchingly told - and it is utterly compelling. And then there's Jeanie, Alan's young niece, who battles her own demons. Hovering at the periphery of these lives in transition is the healing presence of Mildred Mackenzie, a strange older woman whose mystical understanding of mind and body brings these characters together and unleashes the power within them all."--BOOK JACKET.
