There is support from family and friends, but there are problems and dangers as well.<br /><br />Follow one year in the life of a teen, from high school lockers to elegant Boston concerts to the snow at Lake Tahoe—from January as a boy, to January as a girl.<br /><br />A Transgender Young Adult book by Karin Bishop.<br />
