Description
It’s 1941 and Alice “Al” Huffman comes from the potato fields of Long Island with her beau, her best girlfriend and her girlfriend’s beau to make it on the Broadway stage only to find she has no talent. She meets Max, a former producer, talent manager and possible con man who introduces her to the glamorous, perpetually on the brink of stardom night club singer, Juliana. Juliana’s voice sounds to Al like “warm milk slipping down the whole of my body.”
Al is increasingly drawn into a secret gay world of men who wear dresses and women who smoke cigars, while her childhood friends, not sensing the change in Al, live in the world of “normals”. Al goes back and forth between the two until one day these worlds collide.
Advance Praise
"From the first page I felt I was walking off the streets of 1940s New York. At times funny, enlightening, sensual. Juliana tells a story that is rarely told."
Donna Spector, The Candle of God, The Woman Who Married Herself
"Spell-binding, entrancing, a gay underworld with the sights and sounds of a lost New York."
"Historical fiction meets romance in this fascinating tale that's sure to
interest anyone curious about the early years of gay and lesbian life in New
York City, when being "out" was unheard of and would likely get you killed.
Juliana is a love story that will appeal to history buffs and romantics of
any persuasion."
