Jo and Bethie are sisters. They couldn’t be more different. Growing up, Jo was rebellious and Bethie was the good child. As adults, just the opposite. As the book begins in the 1960s, life was very conventional, conservative. Jo is attracted to women. She dreams of being a writer. She finishes college, becomes a teacher, marries and has three girls. When is it time for her to live her authentic life? Bethie begins college involved with the drug culture, drops out and flounders for 10 years. She meets someone who changes her life. The story of Jo and Bethie and those in their lives is so heartwarming. Families are messy. They’re not the neat packages others think they are.
