So, I was finally able to submit something. It's The Heart's Progress: A Memoir
by Claudia Bepko. It got a 99.91 rating. I did protect page breaks, but the
headers began to drive me insane, so the proofreader will need to strip them.
Other than that, this shouldn't be a difficult validation. The book is fairly
short, just over 200 pages.

Here's the synopsis:
Like many lesbians, Claudia Bepko was a young woman when she first admitted to
having homosexual feelings-but it took a lifeless heterosexual marriage and a
fierce attraction to a female colleague before she was able to live openly in a
relationship with another woman. In this moving memoir she relives the painful
and poignant awakenings she experienced in her early life: from her blue-collar
Catholic upbringing to her confusing college days, during the height of the
sexual revolution, when she encountered her first male and female lovers.
Having built a career in the early years of the women's movement, she found the
courage to question her heterosexuality. Approaching middle age in the midst of
"lesbian chic," she finds herself finally able to move from an identity
shrouded in otherness to a life that celebrates the freedom and normalcy of
loving whomever one is destined to love.

much need a witness to the truth,"
