Whenever it started growing, it definitely bloomed the moment she and Kathleen Miller walked under the flashing neon sign of a lesbian bar called the Telegraph Club.

With deportation looming over her father--despite his hard-won citizenship--Lily and Kath risk everything to let their love see the light of day.
