Though Jeanette is an involved member of her church, preaching and teaching Bible study weekly, her desires are seen as “unnatural,” and Jeanette begins to realize that the future she thought she wanted for herself-a future as a missionary and an evangelist-may not be possible. Jeanette’s selfless devotion to God and to her church is, she finds, unfortunately in direct competition with her burgeoning sexuality. As Jeanette grows up, she struggles to make sense of the complicated and rule-ridden world around her through stories of princes, knights, and sorcerers, all of which reflect the very real and complicated trials she faces as a young queer woman in a repressed environment, despite their fanciful characters and settings. Headstrong, self-sufficient, devoted to God, and a natural story-teller, Jeanette grows from a young girl to a young woman over the course of the novel, and as the story progresses she wrestles with her homosexuality, her uncertainties about evangelism, and her relationship with her domineering adoptive mother. The protagonist of the novel, Jeanette is a fictionalized version of the writer Jeanette Winterson.
