Sarah McBride is the National Press Secretary for the Human Rights Campaign, she has been the first (open) trans woman to intern at White House and the first (open) trans person to speak before a major party national convention in the USA. Now at just 27, she has published her memoir, writing about her life as a young trans woman, political battles and the loss of her partner.

Going into the book one should note that McBride is a staunch believer in the Democratic Party - and has been since her childhood. This book is not a critical view on Democratic politics/ policies, she is often very complimenting, which can be at times frustrating. That being said there is a lot in this book: McBride writes in detail about advocating for policy changes, the different steps, the ways you need to secure supporters, but also how different policies are pitted against each other ("We already gave you Equal Marriage this year, now you really need to wait before we can look into trans-inclusive policies..."). She reflects on her position as a white, educated, pretty (in a normative sense) trans woman with a supportive family and always tries to contextualize her experiences.
The book can also be read as a love letter to her late husband, Andrew Cray, a trans health advocate. She writes about their supportive relationship, his work on health politics, and his lasting effect. She also chronicles his illness and subsequent death four days after their wedding, combining their personal stories with thoughts on the specific challenges trans people might face with healthcare providers and even in death.
