Title: Entwined
First published: 1995
Description: Entwined focuses on the life of 77-year-old Lottie Mower, a nearly silent woman who's been in mental hospitals and nursing homes for more than 50 years. Charly - a young lesbian who works at Heritage Home - wants to know why the woman does not speak. Charly begins dreaming the old woman's young life and finds herself increasingly entwined with the intensity - of love, of violence, of betrayal - that landed Lottie in Lima State Hospital.
