Entwined focuses on the life of a nearly silent 77-year-old woman, Lottie Mower, who has spent most of her life in mental institutions or nursing homes. A young woman, Charly, befriends her and becomes ensnared in the net of emotions that have caused Lottie's silence. Charly begins dreaming the old woman's young life and finds herself inextricably linked to Lottie's toils that landed her in Lima State Hospital.

With wry humor and a 1990s perspective on the 1970s, On Lill Street follows Margaret through her evolution from city-dwelling absolutely politically-correct lesbian feminist separatist to a suburban mixed-gender in which mutual infatuation leads to love with a (formerly?) straight woman, all the while retaining a wide-eyed sense of people, politics, and love.
