Jeff McGowan, withdrawn adolescent, confused by a tendency to cross dress seeks acceptance and purpose in his small Northwest community. When Irene, a blind clothing designer advertises for a friend\/helper, Jeff phones her, is mistaken as a girl and becomes Jennifer. The ruse is frought with risk from the start, becoming increasingly convolute, with the partial discovery of Jeff's secret by a hostile class mate. Jeff's teacher, his intellectual elder sister and even his Mom become involved. The surprise ending combines elements of rehabilitation, alternative technology and a gathering self awareness for Jennifer. The major characters gain new respect and appreciation for one another. An unique story for the bit of Jeff\/Jennifer in all of us.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lulu.com","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47611743043735,"sku":"9780557763924","price":775.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780557763924.webp?v=1775072599","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/reading-between-the-lines-9780557763924","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
