Burned by her traumatic past, Angel is new to the drag world, new to ball culture, and has a yearning inside of her to help create family for those without. When she falls in love with Hector, a beautiful young man who dreams of becoming a professional dancer, the two decide to form the House of Xtravaganza, the first-ever all-Latino house in the Harlem ball circuit. But when Hector dies of AIDS-related complications, Angel must tend to their house alone. She recruits Venus, a whip-fast trans girl who dreams of finding a rich man to take care of her; Juanito, a quiet boy who loves fabrics and design; and Daniel, a butch queen who accidentally saves Venus's life. The Xtravaganzas lean on each other as bulwarks against a world that resists them.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Kealakekua Public Library Adult Fiction Cassara Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Cassara Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Fiction Cassara Checked In Add Copy to MyList
