Review

Gripping... Timely and significant * Kirkus * Becoming Nicole is a miracle. It's the story of a family struggling with-and embracing-a transgender child. But more than that, it's about accepting one another, and ourselves, in all our messy, contradictory glory. -- Jennifer Finney Boylan A transgender girl's coming-of-age saga, a civil rights time capsule, a tear-jerking legal drama and, perhaps most of all, an education about what can happen when a child doesn't turn out as his or her parents expected. * Time * If you aren't moved by Becoming Nicole, I'd suggest there's a lump of dark matter where your heart should be * New York Times *
