Klappentext
„A wonderful addition to the few novels that have dared to tackle a subject that has long lived in the cultural margins … a tender, surprisingly relatable story.“ The Los Angeles Times
J had always felt different. He was certain that eventually everyone would understand who he really was: a boy mistakenly born as a girl. Yet as he grew up, his body began to betray him; eventually J stopped praying to wake up a „real boy“ and started covering up his body, keeping himself invisible – from his parents, from his friends, from the world. But after being deserted by the best friend he thought would always be by his side, J decides that he’s done hiding – he’s ready to be who he really is. And this time he is determined not to give up, no matter the cost.
Chris Beam delivers a powerful and inspiring story of self-discovery as readers share in J’s struggle to find his own path and to love his true self.
