Beulah Land
Seventeen-year-old Vi Sinclair’s roots run deep in the Missouri Ozarks, where, in some areas, it can still be plenty dangerous to be a girl who likes girls. Her greatest wish is to become a veterinarian like her boss, Claire Campbell. Fitting in at school wouldn’t be so bad, either. Only one obstacle stands in the way: She may not live long enough to see her wishes fulfilled.With help from her only friend, Junior, Vi unravels a mystery that puts her in conflict with a vicious tormentor, a dog fight syndicate, and her own mother. Vi’s experience galvanizes her strength and veracity as she overcomes the paradox of mountain life, in which, even today, customs and mores seem timeless, and where a person can wake up dead simply because of being who she is.
*****... Beulah Land is a brave, refreshing novel that offers a message of hope... [It is an accurate portrayal of what it's like to grow up in a place where your very existence is challenged, as well as a reminder that the willingness to push on wins the day, every time.
Beulah Land is a much needed story of queer resistance and courage in the face of bigotry and intolerance.
