    About this ebook

    It’s 1984, and there are lots of things the family of Helen Blumenstein, age 14, doesn’t talk about. Her cousin is gay. Helen’s best female friend may have a crush on her. Helen wants to learn about kissing girls, but she’s scared of being different. Helen will have to find her own voice and decide if she is brave enough to be exactly who she is supposed to be, even if that means being a little bit queer.

      The first night of the visit, Dad, Mom, my brother and I all went over to Nana’s, where my cousin and his friend were staying. Nana made brisket. As she spooned thin brown gravy over stringy beef, she called me into the kitchen.
