 BROOKLYN, NEW YORK – Set in New York City, Christina Batista’s novel Hersband introduces a lesbian heroine searching for true love among the 1980s gay scene. Erotic and heartfelt, Hersband reaches into the depths of human desire for purpose and affirmation, emerging triumphant to validate family ties, faith, and love.
In Hersband, Batista tackles the coming of age of a gay woman raised in a traditional Latino upbringing. Batista gives her character an early knowledge of and confidence in her own homosexuality, as well as a strong moral character that makes her both complex and admirable. An emphatic message of Batista’s work is that women in general, regardless of sexual orientation, can identify with many of the same everyday struggles. Hersband’s protagonist overcomes prejudice based on her sexual orientation, harassment as a woman, and personal questions about the possibility of finding true love. Hersband is available for sale online at Amazon.com .  Until next time!
