"Reeling from her parents' tragic death, teenaged Billie is uprooted from her native Austin, Texas to live in Liberal, Kansas--which despite its name, is not politically, or socially, liberal. Her new guardian is her godfather Adam, "a gay, film geek stuck inside a jock's body--a jock's world." With his partner Steven, they run the Starlite movie theater, an oasis for film buffs and "the friends of Dorothy." Together, they face new challenges in their relationship and from the conservative town as they become Billie's parents, help her grieve, as they all travel the rocky yellow brick road of love and heartbreak"-- Provided by publisher.
