    About this ebook

    HOT ICE

    Taboo to the touch

    A fire in the cold

    That was us

    Welcome to a stage, where a soaring painting takes shape before your eyes, a big-booty poet stands at the mike, and there’s a seat right in front, just for you.

    This is a place where wise old ladies live and boys act like horses.

    This is a vision of love that was crushed and brought back to life.

    And this is my story. I’m Orphea Proud. Welcome to the show.

    As Orphea, who discovers her sexuality as a lesbian, shares her story, powerful questions of family, prejudice, and identity are explored.
