Finalist for 2019 Lambda Literary Award in Bisexual Fiction!
Finalist for 2019 Bisexual Book Awards in Young Adult Fiction!
Imagine engaging in sexual intimacy with someone you care about for
the first time after surviving the loss of a serious, committed,
loving relationship. In Palmetto Rose, this is where we find a bi+,
gender fluid narrator affectionately called Kid by their loved
ones. After five years trying to numb and escape the pain of losing
their first love to a tragic accident, Kid begins to wake up,
grieve, and try to rebuild their life in Atlanta, Georgia. Through
their eyes, we watch as they seek to make sense of grief, pursue
the possibility of a college education, and embark on their first
serious romantic relationship since they were a teenager. In the
process, we spend time with their chosen family of friends who
navigate relationships, graduate programs, and developing careers.
As the story unfolds, these friends face the ups and downs of early
adulthood alongside the ways their individual and shared pasts find
voices in their current endeavours, future plans, and intertwined
lives. Although many characters in this story originally appeared
in Cigarettes & Wine, Homecoming Queens, or Other People's
Oysters, Palmetto Rose may be read as a stand-alone novel. Palmetto
Rose may be used as an educational tool for people seeking to
better understand growing numbers of openly bisexual, transgender,
and poly people; as a supplemental reading for courses across
disciplines dealing with gender, sexualities, relationships,
families, the life course, narratives, emotions, the American
south, identities, culture, and / or intersectionality; or it can,
of course, be read entirely for pleasure.
