Abstract
  • A creative work of literary fiction, Chrysalis is the story of Rachelle Long: a young woman who struggles to find her identity in a world marked by changing (and often, conflicting) ideas regarding sexuality, economics, gender roles and relations, and individual rights. Just one year into the workforce following her graduation from college, she already feels burned-out from an ill-fated career in social work -- but soon discovers that the stress and fatigue she's experienced are the least of her problems. Fearing a reassessment of her sexuality, she accidentally bumps into her best friend, Andie McKay, during a night on the town -- and by night's end, their fond reminiscences lead to a surprising turn of events. Confounded by their initial tryst, she then embarks on a cross-country rail journey -- traversing both physical and emotional boundaries en route to a visit with a beloved aunt. But while she is there, she makes another discovery -- one which will shape her life's journey.
