* "The novel's greatest strengths are J's voice and his clearly articulated perspective.

Synopsis
A powerful and inspiring story about a transgender teen's struggle to find his own path -- and love his true self. 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. It's time to be who he really is. And this time he is determined not to give up, no matter the cost.

WARNING! AVOID! Seller knowingly sold me a defective item worth $500. Item failed on the second day of use. I contacted the manufacturer who provided the following info: “Serial [redacted] has no warranty, as it has been used for multiple repair scenarios recently, by several different customers, and is now considered to be involved in fraud.”
