Tomorrow WILL be different - The courageous journey of Sarah McBride. A hero. A role model. A game changer. Look out world!
4.5 stars. Not many 25 year olds would have experienced the joy and heartache that someone like Sarah has, but that's what makes her story so wonderful and worth reading. I appreciated her honesty about her struggles coming out as a transgender woman, I cried pretty hard when she stood by the love of her life while he struggled with terminal cancer, and I cheered as she reached so many milestones in her professional life. I kept having to remind myself that she's young and has so much more to come, and if her accomplishments to date are any indication, she's going to make big strides for transgender Americans.
The detailed sections about how she lobbied for transgender rights was a little too drawn out for me although I know how important and hard such work is. That's the only reason I'd lower my rating a little. I really loved how she'd talk about her life and relate it back to how the larger population of transgender people live. She's quick to point out her privilege, and I'm glad she's using that privilege to speak out for thousands of others who don't have a voice that's heard on such a large platform.

A very moving book both addressing both Sarah's individual story and the broader question of how to push forward social change and policy.

Beautiful, heartbreaking, and full of hope. I thoroughly enjoyed this book when I read it last Summer.
Sarah makes this explicit: we can’t keep waiting for trans rights because these are human lives. She tells her story, and her loss, and her fight for politics in a very open way that made me cry but also left me with so much hope. Our voices do matter. Change can come. Things can be terrible, but we cannot give up.
This was a truly exceptional book written by an amazing woman. Sarah McBride details her journey in a poignant and emotionally written story that really hits home with all of the challenges that transgender citizens face each day. The main thing that I took from this book is that behind all the politics, and hate speech, and, arguments about rights, are people who are just trying to love, live their lives, and have access to the same basic rights as everyone else. That's what gets lost in all the rhetoric. I highly recommend this book!
