Two Winters

The winter of 1997 is a tragedy waiting to happen. Small-town life isn't easy for seventeen-year-old bisexual and closeted Paulina, especially when her best friend Mia becomes pregnant. A devout Catholic, Mia doesn't want to tell her parents, see a doctor, or even tell the baby's father, Paulina's other best friend, Tesla. Meanwhile, Paulina'ssecret relationship with volleyball star Ani is about to go public in the worst way. It all comes to a head one fateful night, and everything changes forever. Fast-forward to the winter of 2014, where Perdita, bi and proud in Chicago, is weeks away from turning seventeen. Her life is perfect--well, almost. She loves her two moms, but why do they refuse to tell her anything about her adoption? When Perdita meets Fenton, her handsome improv coach who's taking a gap year before college, she discovers both a kindred soul and a willing accomplice in her search for the truth. Will Perdita find what she's looking for as she discovers the truth of the winter of 1997? And if not, can time really heal all wounds?
