Ros has finally found Eddy, the girlfriend they've always wanted. But Ros can't tell her the truth: that they are trans, and want to live in a male body.

At a party Ros's classmates "discover" they're a lesbian - but that's not the true story. As Ros's life gets ever harder to navigate, a new friendship with a boy changes everything and Ros confides in him. Once the truth is out, things take on a momentum that Ros can't control.

Ros is surprised that their school turns out to be supportive of their identity. But what's the next move? And what will happen when Eddy finds out?

About the Author

Chris is a non binary writer who lives in Dalkey, south county Dublin with their long term partner, and a feisty little mini Schnauzer called Oti. Being non binary has been a lifelong battle to be seen for the whole person, rather than the outer skin. Chris's interest in alternative medicine, especially shamanism, has stemmed from a search for modalities that can heal at a deeper level. They are a qualified shamanic practitioner and Reiki Master. Chris has written fiction for adults and an autobiography. However, Chris has worked in education for most of their career and finds writing for the young adult audience a way of using all their experience in the classroom.

"This was an alternative read but I felt I lived and breathed every emotion with Ros as the pages turned - hoping that the conclusion would be a good one - a must read!! Chris Ricketts is a truly inspirational writer."

-- ***** reader review

"Moving. Intense. Unusual. Challenging.
Devoured in a single day.
Aristotle said, 'Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.' This is a book about leaving no stone unturned until you secure understanding and acceptance from the person who matters most. Yourself."
