This book is a fictionalized memoir of a young Asian trans-girl who runs away from her home in the city of Gloom and finds solace in the sisterhood of trans-women who live and work on the Street of Miracles. The writing and story are very surreal, blending whimsy and fantasy with serious issues, such as transphobia, racism, sexual assault, police brutality, and violence against transwomen. It was so wonderfully written and overall a great narrative on transness and community.
