As Noelle copes with a turbulent adolescence, her father begins to metamorphose into the loving parent she had always longed for―only now outfitted in pedal pushers and pink lipstick.With edgy humor, courage, and remarkable sensitivity, Noelle Howey challenges all of our beliefs in what constitutes gender and a "normal" family.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
