Seventeen-year-old Lily Hu cannot remember exactly when the feeling took root, that quiet, persistent desire to look a little longer, to move a little closer. But she knows exactly when it bloomed: the moment she and Kathleen Miller walked under the flashing neon sign of a lesbian bar called the Telegraph Club. Suddenly, a world of hidden possibilities opened up before her. However, San Francisco in 1954 is not a safe place for two teenage girls to fall in love, especially not in Chinatown. The paranoia of the Red Scare threatens everyone, casting a dark shadow of suspicion over Chinese Americans like Lily's family. With the terrifying threat of deportation looming over her father, Lily and Kath must navigate their blossoming romance in absolute secrecy. Meticulously researched and deeply emotional, this sweeping coming-of-age story explores the heavy cost of living your truth. Lily must decide if she is willing to risk everything she knows to let her love finally see the light of day.

Aria Tang West had the perfect summer planned: relaxing on Martha's Vineyard with her best friends before heading off to college. But when a graduation party goes terribly wrong, her parents exile her to California to spend the summer with her grandmother, a renowned artist. Expecting months of absolute boredom, Aria is completely caught off guard when she meets Steph Nichols, her grandmother's charismatic gardener. Drawn into Steph's vibrant, working-class queer community, Aria suddenly finds herself second-guessing everything she thought she knew about who she is and what she wants for her future. Set against the historic backdrop of the first major Supreme Court decisions legalizing gay marriage, this is a powerful story of self-discovery, art, and first love. What begins as a ruined vacation transforms into an unforgettable season of awakening that will change the course of Aria's life forever.
