Narrator Erin Bennett confidently delivers this compelling memoir, presented as a mother’s love letter to her teenage transgender daughter. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Michele Cobb discuss this story that seamlessly interweaves family experiences with the history and struggles of transgender people. The author, writing under a pseudonym, recounts the upheaval of their life when threatened by their state’s Department of Children and Families, their difficulties finding a welcoming place to live, and parenting challenges that arise. With deliberate pacing and a clear, assertive voice, Bennett captures the author’s fierce love for her daughter and fervent advocacy for the transgender community.
