We Had No Rules

A young teenager stays a step ahead of her parents'' sexuality-based restrictions by running away and learns a very different set of rules. A woman grieves the loss of a sister, a ''gay divorce,'' and the pain of unacknowledged abuse with the help of a lone wallaby on a farm in Washington State. A professor of women''s and gender studies revels in academic and sexual power but risks losing custody of the family dog. In Corinne Manning''s stunning debut story collection, a cast of queer characters explore the choice of assimilation over rebellion.
