If you are just out here trying to live in a WLW book world we have a bookclub for YOU built for  lovers of queer reads of the wlw variety.  Meets the 4th sunday of every month at 7pm. Don't miss out on dishing about sapphic picks with like minded readers. Spice meter for those that want to know in advance coming soon... iykyn

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.
