BOOKLIST - August, 2003
"[T]he pleasure, like on some road trips, is in the journey, not the destination, and Lake's [Different Dress] takes its leisurely good time as this love affair runs into detours and unexpected roadblocks. This lesbian romance is full of entrancing details that make the day-to-day tour come alive as the dazzle of show business and the joy of making music serve as backdrops to the lovers' deepening relationship."
BOOK DESCRIPTION
Different Dress is the story of three women on a cross-country music tour. Jaime Esperanza is the assistant production manager in charge of both stage and stars. The headliner, Lacey Leigh Jaxon, is a fast-living, heavy drinking prima donna with intimacy problems. She's had a brief relationship with Jaime, then dumped her for a series of new band mates. Lacey still comes back to Jaime in between conquests, and Jaime hasn't gotten her entirely out of her heart.
Lacey Leigh steamrolls yet another opening act and, in desperation, the tour manager brings on board a folksinger from Minnesota named Kip Galvin, who wrote one of Lacey's biggest songs. Kip has true talent, she loves people and they respond to her, and she has a pleasant stage presence. A friendship springs up between Jaime and Kip - but what about Lacey Leigh?
It's a honky-tonk, bluesy, pop, country EXPLOSION of emotion as these three women duke it out. Who will win Jaime's heart and soul?
JUST ABOUT WRITE - September, 2003
"Noted for her powerful characterization, authentic detail, and heart-clenching stories, Lake twangs another successful chord with Different Dress. Not one to skimp on realism, she gained an invitation for a walk-through on the Indigo Girls' tour bus and sound stage. Because of this drive for truth, Different Dress resonates not only with an entertaining story, but also with accurate descriptions of behind-the-scenes activities of a cross-country group. The book will delight all readers, but with its concert stage settings and original song lyrics, it will especially electrify those who are music lovers."
