The House of Impossible Beauties

Set in the vibrant Harlem ball scene of 1980, a seventeen-year-old named Angel navigates her traumatic past while seeking to build a family for the marginalized. As she falls for Hector, an aspiring dancer, they establish the House of Xtravaganza, the first all-Latino house in the circuit. Tragedy strikes with Hector's death from AIDS-related complications, leaving Angel to shoulder the weight of their dreams and the house's legacy alone, exploring themes of love, loss, and resilience within a richly diverse community.
