A classic lesbian novel set at the end of the Vietnam war. Ruth, a middle-aged woman accustomed to tragedy in her own life, cares for the young and changing boarders of her house as a mother and guide. Combining issues of race, gender, sexuality and politics, The Young In One Another's Arms celebrates the cameraderie and strength of women against a backdrop of war and tragedy.
