Letter to My Transgender Daughter: A Girlhood

AUTHOR Hays, Carolyn
PUBLISHER Blair (10/31/2023)
PRODUCT TYPE Paperback (Paperback)

Description
A parent's love letter to a daughter who has always known exactly who she is.

One ordinary day, a caseworker from the Department of Children and Families knocked on the Hays family's door to investigate an anonymous complaint about the upbringing of their transgender child. It was this knock, this threat, that began the family's journey out of the Bible Belt but never far from the hate and fear resting at the nation's core.

Self-aware and intimate, Letter to My Transgender Daughter asks us all to love better, not just for the sake of Hays's child but for children everywhere enduring injustice and prejudice just as they begin to understand themselves. Letter to My Transgender Daughter is a call to action, an ode to community, a plea for empathy, a hope for a better future. Letter to My Transgender Daughter is a love letter to a child who has always known exactly who she is-and who is waiting for the rest of the world to catch up.

The paperback release includes key additions to the text, including a reader's discussion guide, an interview with the author, and a list of resources and links for LGBTQ+ individuals, families, and allies.
