About the book
Jo and Bethie are completely different individuals, yet society imposes the expectation that they should be alike.
Living in Detroit during the 1950s, the Kaufman sisters have clearly defined roles within their family. Jo is seen as the rebellious tomboy, with a strong desire to fight for justice; while Bethie is viewed as the beautiful, feminine good girl, dreaming of a conventional life and enjoying the privileges her beauty brings.
However, as the sixties approach, the world around them begins to change rapidly. Their future no longer aligns with their aspirations. Bethie transforms into a free-spirited adventurer, while Jo settles into the role of a proper young mother in Connecticut, putting aside her true desires and aspirations. Neither woman is living the life they had once dreamed of. Is there still a chance for them to pursue the lives they truly want?
