A memoir of growing up in the 1970s separated from her mother, who lost custody of her children after she divorced their father and came out as a lesbian. More than a tale about a parent’s coming out, however, it is the story of a girl seeking her own identity as she moves between her father’s white, middle-class Los Angeles neighborhood and her mother’s adopted Latino one, and navigates the wider currents of race and culture in Southern California. Told with a keen, retrospective self-awareness and a dash of humor, it is an engrossing coming-of-age story by one of the first generation of queerspawn to identify as such. It is written for adults, but should appeal to older teens as well.
