A sapphic fantasy (with a romance) novella set in Chicago in 1941. Angels and demons. Warlocks and humans. Conversion therapy. Misogyny. Good people making ultimate sacrifices. A brother’s understanding. Seriously masterful take on personal faith. Saving a love for as long as possible because it’s worth all the risks.
Whew I have goosebumps! Can’t recommend this enough!
