In Her Skin: Growing Up Trans

$8.26
Cover of In Her Skin: Growing Up Trans
Cover of In Her Skin: Growing Up Trans

Insightful journey of transgender youth's self-discovery.

If you're looking to understand the complexities and emotional depth of what it's like growing up transgender, "In Her Skin" offers that. Tirzah's - later Troy's - path to self-acceptance against societal norms is both challenging and inspiring. It's a story that humanizes the experience, offering a lens to the struggles and triumphs of identity and acceptance. This book isn't just another story; it's an invitation to walk alongside someone's most personal journey.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Synopsis:
On the outside, Tirzah has everything: a best friend who adores her and the potential of a full-ride soccer scholarship at her father’s alma mater, Illinois University. But to Tirzah, none of it matters since she's stuck in the body of a girl. Struggling to hide her feelings for her best friend, Heidi, and fighting to cover up female body parts, Tirzah realizes the only way to happiness is by transitioning. But the change could mean losing Heidi, the scholarship, and possibly her parents' acceptance. When Tirzah starts to live as Troy, Heidi's family forbids the friendship. That's when Heidi goes missing. Troy must find Heidi, and, ultimately, himself.
