Set in the late 1970s, When You See Her is an immersive page-turner that explores what it means to be both visible and invisible, simultaneously desired and reviled, while carving out a space in a too-small world..
She builds lasting friendships along the way, and as the quality of her performances improves, she starts on a path to self-reliance and self-acceptance.
Traveling from town to town, Lola wonders if it\'s possible to hide in plain sight and truly outrun her past.
Burying her guilt, Sarah leaves home and begins performing under the stage name Lola Rolls.

When Sarah commits an unthinkable act, she seizes the only opportunity available to escape the consequences of her actions.
