Written in alternating view journal-like entries, the story outlines the friendships and lives of Abigail, a 17-yrs told trans student and Erica, her trans English teacher who is finally being honest with herself about her gender. It is heart wrenching, but hopeful and joyful at the same time. A reflection on humanity, community, and being your authentic self.
