GOLD MEDAL READERS FAVORITE Award-Young Adult Coming of Age
Tracy should have been a boy. Even her older brother Spencer says so, though he wouldn't finish the thought with, "And I should have been a girl."
Though both feel awkward in their own skin, they have to face who they are-queers in the late 60s.
When both are caught with gay partners, their lives and futures are endangered by their homophobic father as their mother struggles to defend them.
While the Vietnam War threatens to take Spencer away, Tracy and her father wage a war of their own, each trying to save the sweet, talented pianist.
At seventeen, Tracy dresses as a boy and leaves her parents in turmoil, with only the slimmest hope of finding peace within herself. She journeys to a girl with a guitar, calling to her from a photo, "Come to Alaska. We'd be great friends."
Maybe even The MoonStone Girls.
