Seventeen-year-old Lily Hu can't remember exactly when the question took root, but the answer was in full bloom the moment she and Kathleen Miller walked under the flashing neon sign of a lesbian bar called the Telegraph Club. America in 1954 is not a safe place for two girls to fall in love, especially not in Chinatown. Red-Scare paranoia threatens everyone, including Chinese Americans like Lily. 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. 

Was, wenn deine Liebe verboten ist? Die siebzehnjährige Lily wächst Mitte der 50er Jahre in der chinesischen Community von San Francisco auf. Als sie bei einem Schulprojekt Kathleen kennenlernt, wird ihr klar, dass sie anders ist – und anders fühlt – als die anderen Mädchen. Die beiden freunden sich an und besuchen nachts heimlich eine verbotene Lesbenbar, den Telegraph Club. Hier taucht Lily in eine Welt ein, die sie maßlos fasziniert. Und ihr wird klar, dass sie mehr für Kath empfindet.

Bevor Sie in dieses Buch eintauchen, lehnen Sie sich noch einmal zurück, atmen Sie tief ein und werfen Sie einen Blick aus dem Fenster. Was sehen Sie? Sehen Sie Schmetterlinge, deren bunte Flügel im Sonnenlicht strahlen? Beobachten Sie vielleicht einen Vogel seine Eier ausbrüten? Blicken Sie auf Bienen, die gerade Blumen bestäuben oder regnet es vielleicht? Vermutlich ist der Blick aus dem Fenster für Sie bereits ein vertrauter Anblick und doch können Sie mir glauben, wenn ich Ihnen sage, dass genau dieser vertraute Anblick nach dem Lesen dieses Buches ein anderer sein wird.

But a love so deep and so wide cannot be contained in one memorized phrase. It takes multiple authors of sixty-six individual books to begin to explore the mystery of God's care for us.
