Product Description
by Ellen M. Levy (Author)
Deborah and Miriam, young Jewish girls vacationing in Massachusetts the summer of 1910, are immediately attracted to one another. As they explore their intense connection, they face challenges in their families, community, religion, and within themselves. These young women are products of turn-of-the-century values yet fall in love, a rarely accepted behavior in post-Victorian America. They explore ways to fit into a culture that is unforgiving of the choices they make, discovering what it means to be lesbian in a world which is not ready for them.
