Table of ContentsReviewsA Girlhood: Letter to My Transgender Daughter exists in a recent tradition of epistolary memoirs by leery parents (or prospective ones) careening between hope and anxiety on the page: from Ta-Nehisi Coates's Between the World and Me to Warmth, by Daniel Sherrell. Powerfully intimate ... Hays trains her powers of observation on the sheer wonder of a child in bloom ... spare prose quaking with love and consternation. --New York Times Touching, combative, compelling...this memoir begins with the suspense of a thriller and ends with...hope. --Vogue [Italian edition] Hays here presents a different view of God--as a being of pure love that would never consider her daughter a mistake, but instead, a gift. --Oprah Daily Poignant . . . [a] clear-eyed, love-filled tale. --Booklist Carolyn Hays's memoir is searing, haunting, and inspiring. It's a story that asks us to consider what we would do if the simple act of loving our own child threatened to cost us everything. In prose memorable for its gentleness and wisdom, Hays's story is about more than the transgender question: it's about ignorance and wisdom; hatred and love; men, women, and children. In the end, A Girlhood is about all of us. --Jennifer Finney Boylan, author of She's Not There and Good Boy An incredibly poignant and timely story for trans families everywhere. I wish my parents had access to these words, stories, and beautiful thoughts while raising me. --Tommy Dorfman, actress, writer, director Author InformationCarolyn Hays is an award-winning, critically acclaimed, bestselling author who has chosen to publish Letter to My Transgender Daughter under a pen name to protect the privacy of her family.
