Except that was all it took to get noticed. Now I'm heading to Silver Oaks Institute, an elite private college with very specific acceptance criteria. My caseworker got me an interview on a technicality, and when they say elite, they mean it.

Travesti este un studiu de caz despre un copil hermafrodit, dar şi o explorare a întunecatei sexualităţi adolescentine.
