shareThis powerful collection depicts queer people with a strong sense of identity who are compelled to hide their true selves for the sake of someone else’s comfort. In these tales that reveal the light and dark pathways out of living a double life, a South Asian lesbian placates her traditional mother, a closeted politician’s ambitions force his lover into a grave decision, a trans woman decides whether to come out to her new admirer, and a gifted student hesitates to introduce her prom date to a longtime friend.
