A gripping and poignant ode to chosen family, intergenerational friendship, and resolute persistence. This is not a good time for Berry Garland to realize her dream of opening a women's health center. Florida has become more conservative, and "women's health" raises a red flag. Berry's intent to serve victims of domestic violence, gay women, migrant workers-documented or not-makes reliance on government funding and the cooperation of local agencies precarious. When the owner of Pansy's Café donates space, though, MJ Beaudry and her lover Vonnie Lowe's brother volunteer to revamp the space into a health facility. Berry's best friend, activist Allison Millar, is disgusted with the frenzied hurricane of right-wing extremism, homophobia, and violence. As mayor of Four Lakes, she helps navigate local bureaucracy. A community of lesbians, neighbors, and patients rises up to protect this critical resource from a shocking saboteur. Despite Berry and her partner Jaudon Vicker's devastating life changes at home, these everyday dykes and their friends will stop at nothing to see the Center thrive. Their ideals, their wounds, and a steadfast allegiance to one another render them heroes.
