The story is told as an autobiographical of seventeen-year-old Tracy’s life as she first learns to accept her sexual feelings and the struggle she experiences as she faces this taboo life during the late sixties. She feels like she should have been a boy, and he feels like he should have been a she. Tracy has an older brother named Spencer, who is coping with many of the same confusing sexual feelings that she is experiencing. The main protagonist in Skipstone’s novel is a girl named Tracy, who, in the beginning of the narrative, struggles with hiding her sexual feelings from her conservative father, who is adamant that she should be straight. The Moonstone Girls by Brooke Skipstone opens during the early 1960 LGBTQ movement championed by homophile activists that were instrumental in creating a group identity, an identity that would later enable gay men and women to rally together and demand change on a broader scale.
