Description
Reading Between The Lines or Who Sews the Sunshine Dress by Glynda Shaw, a 70s coming of age story combining themes of gender, blindness, friendship and innovation. Jeff McGowan, withdrawn adolescent, confused by a tendency to cross dress seeks acceptance and purpose in his small Northwest community.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.
