Becoming Nicole by Amy Ellis Nutt
Written by a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Becoming Nicole is the sometimes heartbreaking, always inspiring true story of a transgender girl, and an ordinary American family's extraordinary journey.
If you aren't moved by Becoming Nicole, I'd suggest there's a lump of dark matter where your heart should be * New York Times *
A transgender girl's coming-of-age saga, a civil rights time capsule, a tear-jerking legal drama and, perhaps most of all, an education about what can happen when a child doesn't turn out as his or her parents expected* Time *
Becoming Nicole is a miracle. It's the story of a family struggling with-and embracing-a transgender child. But more than that, it's about accepting one another, and ourselves, in all our messy, contradictory glory. -- Jennifer Finney Boylan
Gripping... Timely and significant * Kirkus *
