  From the award-winning author of Lies We Tell Ourselves comes an inspiring new novel about the power of love.

  Two women connected across generations through the power of words.

  In 1955 eighteen-year-old Janet Jones must keep the love she shares with her best friend a secret. As in the age of McCarthyism to be gay is to sin. But when Janet discovers a series of books about women falling in love with other women, it awakens something in her. As she juggles a romance she must keep hidden and a new-found ambition to write and publish her own story, she risks exposing herself - and Marie - to a danger all too real.

  Sixty-two years later, Abby Cohen can't stop thinking about her senior project - classic 1950s lesbian pulp fiction. She feels especially connected to one author, `Marian Love', and becomes determined to track her down and discover her true identity. Is Abby prepared for what she will find?

  A stunning story of bravery, love, how far we've come and how much farther we have to go.
