The settings of the stories range from the rural to the urban, although the majority have a small town or suburban setting that will not only be familiar to many readers, but also suggests that homosexuality is not urban or exotic, but a part of everyday life in every part of the United States. Jacqueline Woodson's story "Slipping Away" takes place at a summer beach colony, where questions of sexuality threaten to separate two best "summer friends."
