Publisher's Synopsis
Rowan Marks is caught between what was and what will be. She's off to college in a month, but first she must deal with her troubled older brother, her distant father, her laid-back best friend (who's in love with her), her boss at the burger joint (who wants a better life) and the intriguing new college grad Catherine Lowell - who makes Rowan's head spin. Leap is the compelling second novel from an exciting new talent and a beautiful portrayal of small-town America at the end of the 70s, as well as the difficulties of being a lesbian 30 years ago.
