Ultimately, she finds she can let go of friendships that falter on this issue, and her family supports her, though her parents have to work through their own ambivalence. The emotional stress with peers and family remains to get worked out too. Liza is cleared by the board of trustees, but the teachers are dismissed. Their relationship becomes public in a traumatic way when, housesitting for two teachers at Liza's school (who, they discover, are lesbians, though the fact has never been made public) they are discovered by a punitive administrator who reports them all to the school. Liza finds she has some hard thinking and reading to do about homosexuality.
Annie realizes before Liza that their attraction is sexual as well as spiritual. As the relationship deepens, both girls begin to realize with some trepidation that there's a dimension to it they didn't expect. Liza is student body president and a much respected leader. Liza attends an exclusive prep school, Annie a public high school in a working-class area where she lives with her Italian immigrant family. They are instantly drawn to each other, and their friendship grows quickly and deeply. Both love medieval lore and history, and both have a flair for the dramatic. Both Liza and Annie are avid museum browsers. Liza Winthrop, 17, first meets Annie Kenyon, also 17, at the Metropolitan Art Museum in New York, where she's gone to work on an assignment.
