Publisher's Synopsis
Thinking back on her childhood in the American West, writer Kerry Lee Daniel vividly remembers one special moment. She's in third grade in her small Colorado town, and she's starstruck by her beautiful teacher. Little Kerry knows nothing of human sexuality, gender politics, or the LGBT community. All she knows is that she is falling in love with a woman. Kerry's crush leaves a deep impression on the dreamy young girl.
Soon after that, Kerry's family moves from idyllic Colorado to bustling Washington, DC. Heartbroken, Kerry comforts herself by turning the apartment building and neighborhood where she lives into a playground and speculating on the inner lives of her neighbors. Her active imagination accompanies her through a move to the Maryland suburbs, a beauty pageant, and a return to her "heart's home" of Colorado.
Although Kerry's a dreamer, she's still aware of societal and familial expectations. She marries a good friend because that's what she thinks she's supposed to do. But she soon confronts the truth she has known since the third grade: she is attracted to women.
Armed with this new revelation, Kerry courageously decides to change her life and find true love...and that's when her adventures really begin!
