Last Night at the Telegraph Club (Malinda Lo)

Summary: Seventeen-year-old Lily Hu can't remember exactly when the feeling took root--the desire to look, to move closer, to touch.  Whenever it started growing, it definitely bloomed the moment she and Kathleen Miller walked under the flashing neon sign of a lesbian bar called the Telegraph Club.  Suddenly, everything seemed possible.

But America in 1954 is not a safe place for two girls to fall in love, especially not in Chinatown.  Red Scare-paranoia threatens everyone, including Chinese Americans like Lily.  With deportation looming over her father--despite his hard-won citizenship--Lily and Kath risk everything to let their love see the light of day.
