Wow, talk about a powerful book. Janet Mock manages to coherently talk about so many of the different factors of her past--gender identity, poverty, being multiracial, experiencing sexual abuse, etc.--in such a thoughtful way. It's the skill of a true memoirist to be able to create such a cohesive narrative out of such a complex past. I loved the way that she was able to talk about her journey toward embodying her womanhood without apologizing for her mistakes or bumps along the way. I was deeply touched by her words and wisdom.
