Great book! So hopeful and inspiring. I hope that Ms. McBride continues to ascend and accomplish great things. We need to hear more from her.

A beautiful, hopeful book. McBride writes with elegance and clarity, and I hope that her career, whether it stays in advocacy or segues into elected office, is a long and brilliant one. She's a powerful voice for progress.

Joe Biden's foreword is also lovely.

Would recommend for queer teens looking for models for how to productively channel their angst into social change - McBride very nicely captures some ideas about strategic modeling of queer acceptance in a way that I think my kids can understand and use. The reading level strikes me as just right for early high school, and the message is unabashedly hopeful. Perhaps would not recommend if, like me, you knew the author's late husband Andy and are grappling with a similarly harrowing cancer narrative with your far-too-young-for-this-shit partner. The reading experience was scary and uncanny, but I'm still glad to have done it so that I can recommend this memoir to students.

This book brought me so much more perspective and understanding of the experience of folks that are trans, and the utmost importance of supporting legislation to support and protect LGBTQ+ rights.

Now, I did expect to gain this additional perspective while reading... what I did NOT expect was how vivid the emotional experience of reading Sarah McBride's journey would be. Her description of coming out to her parents moved me to a kind of deep sorrow that you feel in the pit of your stomach. Her description of the process of passing legislation in Delaware for LGBTQ+ rights was thrilling. And I was moved to tears when Sarah wrote about a significant loss of a loved one. Throughout it all, she maintains an attitude of hope, one that is inspiring in and of itself.

There's nothing that will help you to connect with someone, or a group of people, like being able to relate to their emotional experiences. Everybody should read this book. The perspective and empathy you can gain from hearing Sarah's story is a MUST have in 2019.

This book moved me to my core. There are multiple people in my life who are trans, and the fact they have to live with discrimination and harassment is devastating. The current political climate is not great, being trans right now is somehow a political existence even when they just want to live. 

This book humanizes that experience, and while we all have a long way to go it did provide some level of hope. This memoir should be required reading.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I highly recommend this book - a truly moving human story about an incredible transgender woman, her life, and the fight for trans rights. It’s challenging to not be discouraged by the current state of our democracy, especially, as Sarah McBride states, given the abrupt change “from a presidency of progress to a presidency of prejudice”. She concludes the book with a call to unite and speak up - a call that must not go unanswered.
