Housemates

In Housemates, film photographer Bernie and writer Leah, who meet as housemates in West Philadelphia, set off on an artists’ road trip to document Pennsylvania amid political discord, facing threats like homophobia and racism while falling in love and rediscovering creativity.

Framed by a 70-year-old lesbian's perspective, the novel celebrates queer youth, chosen family, body liberation, and the radical joy of queer women on the road, blending humor, warmth, and reflections on art across two generations.
