- Synopsis
- In this powerful novel by an award-winning author, 12-year-old Winnie Nash is forced to live with her grandma for the summer and finds herself torn between her family&’s secrets and the joy of celebrating Pride. Winnie Nash never used to have so many secrets. But then she agreed to stay with her grandma for the summer so her mom can take care of her health during her latest pregnancy. Now Winnie plays card games with Grandma&’s friends (boring), joins the senior citizen book club (fine, even if no one thinks she&’ll read the books), and absolutely does not talk about her mom&’s sad days (she never used to be so sad…). The biggest secret is that her parents asked Winnie not to mention she&’s gay to Grandma. And there&’s a really cute girl who also hangs out with the senior citizens. What happens if Grandma notices just how much Winnie likes Pippa? The longer Winnie hides the truth, the more she longs to be surrounded by her LGBTQ+ community and the more she feels like the only place she can be herself is at New York City&’s Pride celebration. Winnie decides she&’ll get to Pride, one way or another. But is this just one more secret she has to keep?
