A tale of duty and love set in Red Scare-era Chinatown, San Francisco.
“That book. It concerned two ladies who developed romantic feelings for one another. Then Lily posed the inquiry that had been ingrained in her, begging to be exposed to the light even as it was unfolding its leaves: "Have you ever heard of such a thing?"
seventeen years of age Although Lily Hu is unsure of the precise time the question gained traction, the answer was evident as soon as she and Kathleen Miller passed the blinking neon sign of the Telegraph Club, a lesbian nightclub.
Chinatown in particular is not a safe location for two girls to fall in love in 1954 America. Everyone is at risk from Red-Scare phobia, including Chinese Americans like Lily. Despite her father's hard-earned citizenship, deportation is imminent, so Lilily and Kath are willing to take great risks to make their love a reality.
