Excerpt:

“I told you when I was sixteen and I’m telling you again, mother- I’m a lesbian. I’m attracted to girls, get it? Not boys.” It was exasperating to go over this again and again. It was two thousand and eight not nineteen forty.

“You won’t be working with

“You won’t be working with some slimy business man in today’s society. If you learn the old ways you’ll be able to entice a very wealthy man to marry you. That, my daughter, is your only hope. You’re going and that’s final!”
She so thought her mother would understand. “I guess you’re more old world than either of us realized!” Neither of them spoke another word.
