Summer in the City of RosesSummer in the City of Roses

In 1990s Portland, Oregon, seventeen-year-old Iph, aided by George, a modern-day Robin Hood, seeks her sensitive fifteen-year-old brother, Orr, while Orr has escaped wilderness boot camp and is residing with The Furies, an all-girl punk band
All her life Iph has protected her sensitive younger brother, Orr. This summer, with their mother gone at an artist residency, their father decides it is time for Orr to toughen up at a wilderness boot camp. When he brings Iph to a work gala in downtown Portland and breaks the news, Orr has already been sent away. Furious at his betrayal, Iph storms off and gets lost in the maze of Old Town. Enter George, a queer Robin Hood who swoops in on a bicycle, bow and arrow at the ready, offering Iph a place to hide out while she figures out what to do. Orr, in the meantime, has escaped the camp and fallen in with The Furies, an all-girl punk band. As Iph and Orr navigate their respective new spaces of music, romance, and sex work activism, will they be able to stop a transformation that could fracture their family forever? -- adapted from jacket
