I love this book because it is so personal.

Arin Andrews tells of his journey—from his confusion to his decision to make his transition. Along the way, I was drawn by his tales of acceptance by his mother, his brother, and some very religious cousins.

The book not only taught me about transgender issues and feelings, but it is also full of heart. And it is funny at times!

From Russell's list on acceptance and transgenders—two very related topics.
