Growing up in the Deep South in 1963 was tumultuous. Three young girls embark on an adventure that will take them from Birmingham to Memphis. They begin to figure life out and they get through it, becoming adults along the way.

It Takes a Very Special Man to Win That Special Woman! A silver tongue. A killer smile. Spectacular muscles. Handsome Murphy Pendleton had all the right parts to make any number of women swoon. But, injured in an act of heroism, he suddenly craved only one; shy, solemn healer Dr. Shawna Saunders. Shawna knew that fleeting seduction—not lasting love—was Murphy's stock in trade. So putting him back together might just leave her shattered. Still, he'd uncovered a passionate secret core inside her, and it was a risk she would willingly take….

Finding love in the ashes was easy. Building a life together? Not so much. After spending the first part of his life chasing pretty girls, love has finally come to Ryan in the form of John, a tall, lanky, red-headed landscape architect with wide shoulders and a five-o’clock shadow. For the first time in Ryan's life, love feels easy. Hell, he even ran into a burning building for John and his son, and he’d do it again if he had to. But telling his father and brothers and classmates “I’m gay. I’ve met a man”? That’s going to take nerve of a different kind. For John, loving Ryan is as natural as breathing. Now if only the rest of his life would fall into place. Dealing with his teen son is complicated enough, but with his ex-wife causing trouble and his daughter wanting to move in, John’s house— and his relationship with Ryan— threaten to split at the seams. Is one month without a new surprise knocking him upside the heart really too much to ask? Unfortunately, the answer seems to be Yes. (This is a re-release of the 2015 Samhain novel, with only minor editing.)

We've all felt uncomfortable in our own skin at some point. But for Andrews, it wasn't a phase that would pass. He had been born in the body of a girl and there seemed to be no relief in sight. He details the journey that led him to make the life-transforming decision to undergo gender reassignment as a high school junior: the challenges he faced as a girl, the humiliation and anger he felt after getting kicked out of his private school, and all the mental and physical changes he experienced once his transition began.
