About this product
Product Information
Dorothy 'Dot' Greenbaum and Rafaela 'Ralfie' Santopietro have been together for years, but as they age, their stable lives begin to show cracks. Rife with wit, Dot & Ralfie takes a hard, sometimes painful look at elder care in the LGBTQ+ community, and the unique struggles that come with getting older outside of heteronormative structures.

Reviews
"Amy Hoffman creates unforgettable characters, and her scintillating wit keeps things lively even in the face of the decline that awaits us all."--Alison Bechdel, author of The Secret to Superhuman Strength, "Endearing and humorously crisp. . . . Character-driven and effortlessly enjoyable, Hoffman sheds sweet light on the often-dismissed population of LGBT seniors with this very realistic and beautifully written story of lesbian elders living and loving in contemporary Boston."-- The Bay Area Reporter, "We know Dot and Ralfie from back in the day in Boston! Was it at the bar? Dyke softball? Who can remember? Anyway, it's great to catch up with them - bum knees, chair stairs, crazy jobs, money worries, aging in place. In place of what? We loved spending time with them."--Kate Clinton, humorist, and Urvashi Vaid, activist, "It's funny in all the right parts, good-naturedly grumpy where it needs to be, and wonderfully, wryly sarcastic, but author Amy Hoffman also nudges her readers to think about their own futures and what each might entail. Who will care for us when we only have similarly-aged friends to rely on? To soften the soberness of that question, Hoffman gives readers a handful of very charming characters that fuss at one another, argue, make up, scheme, and fuss some more. . . . There aren't a lot of novels specific to lesbian seniors who want something reflective of their lives so seek out Dot & Ralfie . If you're tired of the usual literature, it's the perfect alternative."--Terri Schlichenmeyer, Out in Jersey, "A beautiful look at elder care in the LGBTQ+ community, and how difficult it can be to grow older outside of a heteronormative relationship structure."-- Book Riot, "Amy Hoffman has a unique talent for winning over her readers with distinctive characters, precise, effortless prose, and deadpan humor that can break your heart on one page and have you LOL-ing on the next. Dot & Ralfie is a shrewd examination of the many indignities of aging, economic inequality, and the broken healthcare system, all masked as an irresistible domestic comedy."--Stephen McCauley, author of My Ex-Life
