This month's book is Charity & Sylvia, by our pal Tillie Walden.

Being openly gay in 19th century New England is not an easy row to hoe. But Charity Bryant can only be herself. Upon her arrival in Weybridge, Vermont, she immediately catches—and holds—the eye of Sylvia Drake, a family friend looking to find her place in the world. For 44 years, the two would be inseparable, building a life together despite all odds and living as a couple in small town Vermont.

The true, exceptional story of these remarkable women is brought to life with humor & passion by the unparalleled Tillie Walden. We see America grow alongside these women over a period that brings about the railroad, many novels, 14 Presidents, riots, rebellion, plagues, and poetry. Based on extensive archives of their writing, Charity and Sylvia is a groundbreaking work of historical fiction that is also the story of 19th century America.
