Spinsters Ink was founded in upstate New York in 1978 to publish feminist books. In 1982, we moved to San Francisco and then merged with Aunt Lute Books (out of Iowa) in 1986 to become Spinsters/Aunt Lute Book Company. The Aunt Lute Foundation became a separate, non-profit publishing company in 1990 while Spinsters Ink moved to Minnesota in 1992. Today, we are housed in Duluth's Building for Women with other feminist organizations dedicated to serving women. Spinsters Ink publishes fiction and non-fiction that deal with significant issues in women's lives from a feminist perspective: books that not only name these crucial issues, but -- more important -- encourage change and growth. We are committed to publishing works by women writing from the periphery: fat women, Jewish women, lesbians, old women, poor women, rural women, women examining classism, women of color, women with disabilities, women who are writing books that help make the best in our lives more possible.
An excellent book. Mary Saracino has created a powerful story, that is wonderfully written. I also recommend her novel, Finding Grace. In fact, I recommend reading the two books together.
No Matter What

This book was a real page turner. It's a powerful read with interesting characters. The story is well written and it's told from the perspective of a ten-year old girl. It's a coming of age story, but it's definitely an adult novel. The author's sequel just came out this fall and I can't wait to read it.
An engrossing read

I picked up this book at Northwest Bookfest in Seattle last week because the author was there signing copies and I liked her. It is turning out to be a wonderful read. I find it hard to put down, too. The characters are exasperating but sympathetic, and I keep wondering what will happen to them.
awesome

I read this book in three days. Once I picked it up, I couldn't put it down. Mary Saracino did a great job through the voice of a child named Peanut. It was original, and very explosive.
