Description
Just Like February A Novel by Deborah Batterman is a poignant coming-of-age story that spans decades and explores themes of family, love, and identity.
The novel begins with the wedding of Rachel's parents when she's just five years old, setting the stage for a complex home life marked by her parents' troubled marriage. As Rachel grows up, she forms a deep bond with her enigmatic uncle Jake, who fills her life with stories, gifts, and a sense of adventure.
But as Rachel navigates adolescence, she must confront the harsh realities of homophobia and the AIDS crisis of the 1980s, all while trying to understand her own place in the world. This powerful and moving story is a heart-wrenching exploration of love, loss, and self-discovery.
