Image Book of Esther

Summer 1981. Pride Day. The farm crisis. Charles and Di. Everything is changing, including 15-year-old Esther, who has just run away from home. In this passionate, funny, extraordinarily nuanced exploration of the urban/rural divide, conservative Christian farmers are thrown together with loud & proud urban queers... naturally, it's a love story.
