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*
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*
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.

Gripping... Timely and significant
