Welcome to Litsy!

When oral historian Ellen Margolis and her girlfriend decide to get married, Ellen realizes that she can�t go through with a wedding until she tells her grandmother. There�s only one problem: her grandmother is dead. As the two young women beat their own early path toward marriage equality, Ellen�s longing to plumb that voluminous silence draws her into a clandestine entanglement with a wily Holocaust survivor�a woman with more to hide than tell�and a secret search for buried history. If there is to be a wedding Ellen must decide: How much do you need to share to be true to the one you love? Set in ebullient, 1990s Dot-com era San Francisco, Paper is White is a novel about the gravitational pull of the past and the words we must find to make ourselves whole.
