Annie on My Mind

Book • 1982
The novel follows Liza Winthrop and Annie Kenyon, two teenage girls from different backgrounds who meet at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and develop a close friendship that blossoms into love.

Despite the challenges and prejudices they face, including the reaction of Liza's school and family, the girls navigate their feelings and ultimately find a way to be together.

The book explores themes of first love, self-discovery, and the struggle to be proud of one's identity in a society that is not always accepting.
