Publisher's Summary
A closeted secretary in 1960s Chicago. A fearless activist in San Francisco. A love so powerful it can change the world.
Betty wants what everyone wants–happiness, security, and a quiet, good life. She’s determined to make that happen on her own, despite her mother’s fears that she’ll turn into a spinster if she doesn’t settle down and find a husband soon.
Joan wants an important life–one where she gets to love who she wants to love, do what she enjoys, and will leave the world a better place when she’s gone. But what she is–a lesbian in San Francisco at the beginning of the LGBT+ civil rights movement–is criminal. When Betty comes to California for vacation, it’s love at first sight across a crowded bar in the Tenderloin district. She’s mesmerized by Joan and drawn to the homophile movement, but does she have the courage to come out for love and join the fight for equality?
What began as a glance across a room turns into a hopeful, playful, and heartwarming courtship across three time zones and four decades in The Beginning of Everything, a standalone romance by Cara Malone.
