Itβs summer 1977 and closeted lesbian Tammy Larson canβt be herself anywhere. Not at her strict Christian high school, not at her conservative Orange County church and certainly not at home, where her ultrareligious aunt relentlessly organizes antigay political campaigns. Tammyβs only outlet is writing secret letters in her diary to gay civil rights activist Harvey Milkβ¦until sheβs matched with a real-life pen pal who changes everything.
Sharon Hawkins bonds with Tammy over punk music and carefully shared secrets, and soon their letters become the one place she can be honest. The rest of her life in San Francisco is full of lies. The kind she tells for othersβlike helping her gay brother hide the truth from their momβand the kind she tells herself. But as antigay fervor in America reaches a frightening new pitch, Sharon and Tammy must rely on their long-distance friendship to discover their deeply personal truths, what theyβll stand forβ¦and who theyβll rise against.
A master of award-winning queer historical fiction,New York Timesbestselling author Robin Talley once again brings to life with heart and vivid detail an emotionally captivating story about the lives of two teen girls living in an age when just being yourself was an incredible act of bravery.
