Backcast

In "Backcast," sculptor and author Barb Davis hosts a two-week writing retreat for twelve renowned lesbian authors, blending original feminist sculptures with powerful essays on women's life transitions. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Lake Champlain, the retreat features a tournament bass-fishing competition and life coaching from a humorous fish named Phoebe, as the women navigate writer's block, personal demons, and unexpected attractions. With a mix of humor and poignant moments, the story explores the varied and hidden lives of women seeking connection and meaning amid their creative pursuits.
