"Back when I was Perfect."  Wow, what a statement.  Perfect Peace is an emotional, dramatic read that will make you root for some people and want to claw the eyes out of others.  This book is a nature vs nurture conversation starter and was on the fore front of gender identity and sexuality before it was more main stream.  It is also an example of selfish bad parenting.   I did a whole book discussion on this book on my YouTube channel.  Very enjoyable read and discussion.  Writing style allows you to get into most of the characters and also know their destiny.  Well done.
