This book, written by the single mother of a Transsexual teen-ager, is a true account of their experiences wending their way through the morass of roadblocks and confusion in seeking approval for the son to become the daughter she had always been meant to be. It describes clearly the troubles that the "system" deliver to maintain the status-quo, and the overwhelming drive needed by both the child and the parent in overcoming these burdens and achieving success. This should be required reading for any parent of a Transgendered person. The writing style is easy and familiar and will make for a "quick read" ; one you won't want to put down No library descriptions found. |

What the book perhaps lacks in depth, it makes up for in warmth and genuine love. While Evelyn managed everything better than I was at that moment and her daughter was more even-keel and cooperative than mine was at that point in time, I didn't begrudge her the smoother sailing, but rather held out hope that we'd get there soon enough.
Just Evelyn remains one of my quiet heroines, the first trans-parent friend I had, even if the friendship was an imaginary one. ( )
