Publisher Description A parents 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 ChocolatWhen Carolyn Hayss 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 childs 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 nations core.Intimate and thought-provoking, A Letter to My Transgender Daughter is an ode to Hayss brilliant, brave child, as well as a cathartic revisit of the pain of the past. 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 Author Biography Carolyn Hays is an award-winning, critically acclaimed, bestselling author who has chosen to publish A Girlhood: A Letter to My Transgender Daughter under a pen name to protect the privacy of her family.
