Before she knows it, she is on a ship in the Deep South, struggling to navigate not only a world much different from her small Northern Arizona hometown but also her new discovery: she's gay. Figuring out her sexuality clarifies many things, but also creates a daunting new set of problems, for Karen. It's 1984: being gay in the Navy is considered a crime, and gay Sailors are regularly hunted by the Navy Criminal Investigative Service. Discovery means being kicked out, and by this point she is committed to the uniform (and to remaining with her first girlfriend, who is also enlisted). So she learns to hide her secret and find a way to serve--and even thrive professionally--without getting caught. But concealing her truth ultimately leads to devastating consequences." -- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Solt, Karen. 610 10 $a United States. $b Navy $x Gay people $v Biography. 610 10 $a United States. $b Navy $x Women $v Biography. 650 0 $a Gay people $z United States $v Biography. 655 7 $a autobiographies (literary works) $2 aat $0 (CStmoGRI)aatgf300080104 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000520 941 $a 2 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240802015729.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20240604014542.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=95465648223B11EF96E545AA58ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
