About Katherine Bryant Books
As the mother of a non-binary gay child, the author became increasingly interested in LGBTQ history, and in particular, Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld and The Institute of Sexual Science in Berlin. Tillie, Ruth, James, and Ernesto came to life as she studied the Nazi destruction of The Institute of Sexual Science and their burning of all of Dr. Hirschfeld's research on the LGBTQ community members of Berlin and the surrounding areas. This is her debut novel.
