A parent's deeply moving love letter to a daughter who has always known exactly who she is. 'Stunning . . . Built like a thriller moving wise and illuminated on every page with love' - Joanne Harris author of Chocolat When Carolyn Hays's child made clear to the family that they were all wrong he was not a boy but in fact a girl the Hays shifted pronouns adopted a nickname and encouraged her to dress as she felt comfortable. One ordinary day a caseworker from the Department of Children and Families knocked on their door to investigate an anonymous complaint about the upbringing of their transgender child. It was this threat that instilled in them a deep-seated fear for their child's safety in the Republican state they called home. And so they uprooted their lives to the more trans-accepting Northeast United States though they were never far from the hate and fear resting at the nation's core. Intimate and thought-provoking A Letter to My Transgender Daughter is an ode to Hays's brilliant brave child. It tells of the brutal truths of being trans of the sacrificial nature of motherhood and of the lengths a family will go to shield their youngest from the cruel realities of the world. Hays asks us all to love better for children everywhere enduring injustice and prejudice just as they begin to understand themselves. A Letter to My Transgender Daughter is a celebration of difference a plea for empathy a hope for a better future but moreover it is a love letter to a child who has always known herself and is waiting for the rest of the world to catch up. Originally published as A Girlhood: A Letter to My Transgender Daughter
