A summer of upheaval and discovery
Jeannie Baker’s summer in Florida begins after a rupture with her lover and a departure from the home of her grandmother. Staying with her estranged mother brings her into an unfamiliar social world: a neighbor introduces her to Magnolia’s, where the description places sex, drag performance, transgender relationships, and murder within the book’s subject matter. The premise connects family estrangement and romantic conflict with encounters that broaden Jeannie’s experience of gender and sexuality. These strands position the novel as young adult fiction centered on a young woman navigating complicated attachments and unfamiliar territory.
