Far From Maddy
A lesbian romance by C.C. Saint-Clair
Jo ‘disappears’ on the last night of their long weekend at the coast. Maddy searches for her, fruitlessly, and finally contacts the police. So begins the sad tale of Jo’s living on the streets, hanging out in New Farm Park by day, and sleeping in the yard of an apparently deserted house by night. Maddy is befriended by Christen (one of the police officers she contacted the night Jo disappeared). Christen is strongly attracted to Maddy, and a relationship of sorts develops between them; however, Maddy is focused on finding Jo and persuading her to return home to their previously loving relationship. Eventually, Maddy makes contact with Jo but is frustrated by Jo’s refusal to return home, and even more afraid for Jo’s safety when she learns that Jo has reverted to using drugs.
