Break the Glass

Descripción

Break the Glass is a coming-of-age story about love, faith, identity, and self-acceptance. Themes include the tragic and holy, faith and doubt, love and loneliness, and the search for identity as an inevitable part of the human condition. Rebekah Rachel Abrams Cohayn is engaged to be married to her longtime girlfriend-reluctantly, accidentally, and with more than a little bit of trepidation. At the Cohayn's annual family seder, Rebekah's soon-to-be fiancee, Megan Nimble, blurts out the big news before Rebekah is ready. But Rebekah has yet to come to terms with her own sexuality, let alone declare her love for another woman in front of family and friends. During the next year, Rebekah negotiates wedding planning, her religious older brother's judgment and rejection, and a long-simmering fight with Megan over Rebekah's reluctance to identify as gay. As Rebekah deals with problems in her personal life, her job as the editor of a newsmagazine slowly gets turned upside down by an ambitious coworker and a boss who slowly loses sight of the meaning of art.
