A SAFE PLACE TO SLEEP...

When lesbian activist Destiny Greaves asks Kristin Ashe to find her biological father - the man who raped her mother - both of their lives are turned upside down.

Thanks to help from brash ex-nun Fran Green, Kris has no trouble finding the man. But understanding what happened more than thirty years ago - the night Destiny was conceived - is much more difficult.

For starters, Destiny's father, Richard Freeman, has recently been recognized for his volunteer efforts with the Monarch Center - a local rape crisis center. Does this mean he is innocent, that he never raped Destiny's mother? Or was he guilty of rape but has since turned his life around? And what exactly is going on at the Monarch Center? Does the organization help women who have been assaulted, or does it further traumatize them?

In a race against Freeman's increasing psychological hold over Destiny, Kris must find the answers to these questions and others, a task complicated by the struggle she faces with her own father... and the realization that she is falling in love with Destinv!

From the opening line, this book will draw you in and keep you engaged page after page as Kris and Destiny decipher the hidden alliances and harrowing secrets that have shaped their lives! 

…the incredible story of two women's search for the truth.
