Being Emily
They say that whoever you are it's okay, you were born that way. Those words don't comfort Emily, because she was born Christopher and her insides know that her outsides are all wrong.

They say that it gets better, be who you are and it'll be fine. For Emily, telling her parents who she really is means a therapist who insists Christopher is normal and Emily is sick. Telling her girlfriend means lectures about how God doesn't make that kind of mistake.

Emily desperately wants high school in her small Minnesota town to get better. She wants to be the woman she knows is inside, but it's not until a substitute therapist and a girl named Natalie come into her life that she believes she has a chance of actually Being Emily.

A story for anyone who has ever felt that the inside and outside don't match and no one else will understand . . .

In this new, expanded version you will find updated language, expanded and additional scenes, a new note from the author, a new introduction, and an epilogue: Emily and Claire, ten years later.

The groundbreaking classic updated for our generation!

About the Author

Raised on world mythology, fantasy novels, comic books, and magic, Rachel Gold is the author of multiple queer and trans young adult novels. She has an MFA in writing and spent seven years as a reporter for a regional LGBTQ newspaper. She also worked in corporate marketing for fifteen years. She's an all around geek and avid gamer who teaches at the Loft Literary Center an annual class/game for teens called, "I'm Gaming as I Write This." Even though she's been out since the age of fifteen, she still doesn't know what to wear to queer events.

Nicky Endres is an adopted Asian-American non-binary transfeminine queer actor, comic, voice artist, and audiobook narrator. They have enjoyed a wide variety of roles in TV, film, and theatre, with notable guest starring and recurring roles on The Dropout, NCIS: Los Angeles, and One Day at a Time. They also provide the English-language voice for the starring role of Spanish trans icon Christina Ortiz Rodriguez in the HBO Max limited-series Veneno.
