A.D., Anno Domina, the three Millett sisters called her, an adolescent pun on her magnificence. She was their Aunt Dorothy--wealthy, glamorous, an aesthete, a leading figure in St. Paul society--and young Kate in particular was bewitched by her. Millett's brilliant portrait of A.D. is a dialogue between student and teacher, artist and patron--a story about growing up gay in 1950's America.
