LOUIS & LOUISE by Julie Cohen
In 1979, in a thriving Maine mill town called Casablanca, Peggy and Irving Alder have a baby. Peggy is beautiful, Miss Western Maine 1972; Irving is intelligent and rich, the heir to the Casablanca Paper Company.
In one reality their baby is born male: Louis David Alder.
In the other, their baby is born female: Louise Dawn Alder.
And that one change—Y to X chromosome, Louis to Louise—makes all the difference.
Louis and Louise are the same person—they have the same best friends (twins Benny and Anna), the same parents, the same sexuality, the same dream of being a writer and moving away from Casablanca, to New York—but because of their gender, everything else around them is different.
