"2003. Artist and bookbinder Dawn Levit works in conservation at the Met. Nothing is inspiring her art; her gender identity clashes with the rest of her life; her relationship is falling apart. At work Dawn has to present as female, even on the days when that is not true. One day she find the torn-off cover of a '50s lesbian pulp novel hidden behind the endpaper of an old book: Turn Her About. On the front is a campy illustration of a woman looking into a handheld mirror and seeing a man's face. And on the back is a love letter. She becomes obsessed with tracking down the note's author." -- Adapted from jacket.
