Life has been a struggle for Toby Goodman. Her mother died by suicide five years ago, and her father left before Toby was born. Now a teenager living on her grandparents' dairy farm, Toby has trouble letting people in. Convinced that she is destined to follow her mother's path, she creates a plan to escape her pain. But with the news that her father is coming home and finally wants to meet her, Toby learns the truth of her parents' story. Her father is gay and a world-famous female impersonator--in a time when these facts are a source of small-town whispers and secrets, and not something anyone had dared talk with her about before. As her careful plans go awry, Toby must rebuild her life from the ground up. While she might not follow an expected path, with the support of a quirky but lovable circle of friends and family, Toby will finally put together the many different pieces that make up her past, her present and her future."--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Gay fathers $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Teenage girls $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Father and child $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Young adult fiction. 650 0 $a Teenagers $x Suicidial behavior $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Female impersonators $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Dairy farms $v Fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125011734.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=27D363FE089E11EBA1C2147F38ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
