Join us in reading Bingo Love: Jackpot Edition! This heartwarming graphic novel is written by Tee Franklin, and the updated edition has a bonus love story.
You can get your copy at Escape into Fiction (website) or the Franklin Library.
Bingo Love is a story of a same-sex romance that spans over 60 years. A chance meeting at church bingo in 1963 brings Hazel Johnson and Mari McCray together. Through their formative years, these two women develop feelings for each other and finally profess their love for one another.
Forced apart by their families and society, Hazel and Mari both married young men and had families. Decades later, now in their mid 60’s, Hazel and Mari are reunited again at a bingo hall. Realizing their love for each other is still alive, what these grandmothers do next takes absolute strength and courage. (goodreads)
We hope you will read with us! Find more information on Bingo Love here
