Born in New York City in 1866, amateur photographer Alice Austen relishes life as she lives and works in Staten Island, New York. But when she meets Gertrude Tate, she finds a love she never thought possible. The two women live together for several decades, and neither is ever romantically linked to anyone else. Yet the true nature of their relationship is only hinted at in Alice's photographs. "Looking in the Shadows" tells the story of what is not visible in Alice's pictures-the love and devotion in Alice and Gertrude's hearts. Through letters and interior monologue, author Amy Khoudari reveals the women's devotion. In spite of class and custom obstacles, the couple's lifetime commitment to one another intimately shows their deep and lasting love. In time, Alice and Gertrude, two very middle-class women who had been members of New York's elite society, succumb to poverty and illness, and are ultimately forced to live apart. But their love endures, tying them to one another in spite of their physical separation. Touching and bittersweet, "Looking in the Shadows" reveals the power of a once-in-a-lifetime love that defied all convention.

Use the warranty for a pair of sunglasses that I bought and the lens broke on me and Asurion refunded me the total cost of the glasses.

Versatile and athletic top
Size: Medium, Color: Black Gray Blocks, Size: Medium, Color: Black Gray Blocks
This sleeveless shirt is so cute! I like the collared look and the cheetah print. The material is super lightweight and breathable, with solid moisture-wicking It dries fast too – huge plus. The collared design gives it a polished look that works on the golf course or grabbing lunch after, and the stretch feels comfortable without being clingy. Sizing ran pretty true for me, and the UPF protection is a nice bonus for sunny days. I think it’s versatile enough that the top can look nice with some slacks for an office vibe too. Great value if you’re looking for performance without spending a fortune.
