What to expect
They say that it gets better, be who you are and it'll be fine. For Emily, telling her parents who she really is means a therapist who insists Christopher is normal and Emily is sick. Telling her girlfriend means lectures about how God doesn't make that kind of mistake.
Emily desperately wants high school in her small Minnesota town to get better. She wants to be the woman she knows is inside, but it's not until a substitute therapist and a girl named Natalie come into her life that she believes she has a chance of actually Being Emily.
A story for anyone who has ever felt that the inside and outside don't match and no one else will understand . . .
In this new, expanded version you will find updated language, expanded and additional scenes, a new note from the author, a new introduction, and an epilogue: Emily and Claire, ten years later.
The groundbreaking classic updated for our generation!
