"An intensely committed novel talking directly to teenagers . . . scared of what their loneliness may involve them in."--Publishers Weekly. Author: Rosa Guy Publication Date: January 2006 Paperback.
Ruby Cathy is 18, beautiful, and desperately lonely. Transplanted from her warm, sunny home in the West Indies to crowded, urban Harlem, she is forced to live under her father's stern, unyielding rule after her mother's death, Ruby feels left without friends, without comfort and without love. Then she meets Daphne Duprey, who is "cool, calm, cultured, sophisticated and refined" - everything Ruby is not. Together, Ruby and Daphne build a relationship that gives each young woman a new understanding of strength, friendship and love.Tags: Lesbian Fiction, Lesbian Young Adult, Coming Of Age, Lesbian Coming of Age.
