Ribbon in the Snow

By J.A. Lynett

For Barbara Monroe, the daughter of an abusive, alcoholic mother, growing up in a rural Ontario town is anything but normal. When she is eleven she takes part in a shameful act that sets in motion a train of guilt and violence that will end in murder.

As a self-loathing teenager she is thrown out of her family home for assaulting her mother. She flees to Toronto where she dreams of beginning a glamorous new life.

After a disastrous start, Barbara finds safety in the gay world of 1960's Toronto. Blossoming into a flamboyant beauty, she struggles with her assertive and ambiguous sexuality.

Forever seeking forgiveness, Barbara concludes that killing is easy, but forgetting is difficult indeed.
