In a series of chapters that more or less follow Bechdel from young childhood until her college years, the book traces her father's story and her own in the context of his secret. This way she can parallel her life as a lesbian who healthfully revealed her inclination shortly before her father's death, only to discover his inner life as a corrupted version...
