Cast out of a small Midwestern town for being unlike the other girls, an eighteen-year-old arrives in New York with one suitcase, a few dollars, and nowhere to sleep. A stranger feeds her, then walks her through the crooked streets of Greenwich Village - a place where women love women openly, and where she suddenly, terrifyingly, belongs.
She takes a job delivering pizza, learns the bars and the bruises, and falls hard: first for a married woman who cannot choose her, then for a film star whose glamour comes wrapped in secrecy and fear. Love, she discovers, is easy to find here and nearly impossible to keep.
Tall, restless, and painfully honest, she is too young to know that a paradise built on hiding cannot hold. Before she can become a legend of the Village, she has to survive being new to it.
