"I'd rather be broken if broken means being in love. I'd rather be dead if it means that I'd live in your heart".
In a society that's deeply prejudiced, two young girls learn that acting on their feelings is in fact illegal. When fourteen-year-old Elizabeth Ferreira fall in love with the fiesty and independent Joan Maredi, she knows that homosexuality and inter-race relationships are forbidden. Yet, she doesn't care. The two of them swear that the bonds they create will not be destroyed, but will it be the thing that destroys them?

There were rules I was bound to obey not because I chose them, but because my mother and I couldn't afford what breaking them would cost. But I fell for him anyway.

And someone else already decided he was never meant to be anyone's but hers. So i stopped asking if I should love him and started wondering what it would cost me to keep going.
