Synopsis

Seventeen-year-old Lily Hu can’t remember exactly when the feeling took root—that desire to look, to move closer, to touch. Whenever it started growing, it definitely bloomed the moment she and Kathleen Miller walked under the flashing neon sign of a lesbian bar called the Telegraph Club. Suddenly everything seemed possible. But America in 1954 is not a safe place for two girls to fall in love, especially not in Chinatown. Red-Scare paranoia threatens everyone, including Chinese Americans like Lily. With deportation looming over her father—despite his hard-won citizenship—Lily and Kath risk everything to let their love see the light of day.

Description of Lilly:

Lily Hu is a Chinese American girl who, for most of the book, is a senior in high school. Lily is shy and anxious, but also determined to be her real self, regardless of the cost. Over the course of the book, she explores, and ultimately comes to accept, her attraction to women. Though at first she can barely believe that such a thing could be real or acceptable, she overcomes her hesitation and shyness to embrace who she really is, with the help of her friend Kath.
