This book, written by the single mother of a Transsexual teen-ager, is a true account of their experiences wending their way through the morass of roadblocks and confusion in seeking approval for the son to become the daughter she had always been meant to be. It describes clearly the troubles that the "system" deliver to maintain the status-quo, and the overwhelming drive needed by both the child and the parent in overcoming these burdens and achieving success. This should be required reading for any parent of a Transgendered person. The writing style is easy and familiar and will make for a "quick read" ; one you won't want to put down

As usual, any story that tells of the way a transsexual SHOULD transition - with the support of a mother or other family member, makes me so jealous that I cry.

Just Evelyn did a great job. I am a m-f transsexual at the age of 14. So I hope my mom can accept me the same way and will defenetly give this book to my mom when I come out. All parents and transsexuals should read this book.
