During this terrifying political climate, there is nothing more important than understanding the experiences and stories of transgender folks. I went into this memoir expecting a story about Sarah McBride's transition. I did not expect to learn even more about the American political system and how Sarah worked hand-in-hand with the government to help pass bills to protect the lives of LGBTQ+ Americans. I did not expect to cry over her story of love and loss. Unfortunately, the rights and freedoms of transgender folks are once again under attack and need to be defended and protected at all costs.
