Lost in a Beehive!

I was skeptical at first as some Goodread reviewers labeled this one as YA. It really isn't! I am so happy I got past my doubt and dove right in ... I haven't read a book this fast in ages!

The story begins in 1965 when Gloria is just sixteen in one of those terrible institutions that existed to "cure" the mental illness of homosexuality and follows her tumultuous life for the next twelve years when she finally experiences true self discovery and love.

I was emotionally invested from the get go, fully engaged with Gloria Ricci. This is the writing and story telling that makes my heart sing!
