This is a sort of fictional but also sounds like the author growing up. Born in the 1950s and moving to Florida and then onto New York in the later 60s & 70s. The story is about a girl that is gay and while at times not really hiding it but also at times not really open. Given the time and what happens she is ostracized because of this--kicked out of college & then kicked out of her house by her mom. She moves to New York and still struggles with fitting in. Even with these struggles she is a confident and unapologetic about herself. At times very funny and interesting characters throughout. A good read and basically a classic book.
This copy has some minor staining so won't be posting on PBS, but probably wasn't going to anyway. A good book to keep a copy of it on my shelf.
