Reviews
"A profoundly moving true story about one remarkable family''s evolution." -- People "Fascinating and enlightening." --Cheryl Strayed "[ Becoming Nicole ] generously traces the parameters of parental love . . . delving deep into the case of a single family with a transgender child and discovering in its particulars certain universal truths about the ways children arrive in one''s life already themselves." -- The New York Times Book Review (Editors'' Choice) "[An] exceptional chronicle . . . ''Stories move the walls that need to be moved,'' Nicole told her father last year. In telling Nicole''s story and those of her brother and parents luminously, and with great compassion and intelligence, that is exactly what Amy Ellis Nutt has done here." --Sue Halpern, The Washington Post "Reading strictly for plot, Becoming Nicole is about a transgender girl who triumphed in a landmark discrimination case. . . . But the real movement in this book happens internally, in the back caverns of each family member''s heart and mind. Four ordinary and imperfect human beings had to reckon with an exceptional situation, and in so doing also became, in their own modest ways, exceptional. . . . If you aren''t moved by Becoming Nicole, I''d suggest there''s a lump of dark matter where your heart should be." --Jennifer Senior, The New York Times "A transgender girl''s coming-of-age saga, an exploration of the budding science of gender identity, 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--and they''re forced to either shut their eyes and hearts or see everything differently." -- Time "Extraordinary . . . a wonderful and inspiring story." --Minneapolis Star Tribune "A downright necessary book--and a remarkable act of generosity by the Maines family--that will surely start hundreds of conversations in living rooms across the country about what ''transgender'' means. But it''s also a deeply universal book, one that hits the heart of what it means for all of us, no matter how we struggle (or not) to identify, to be ourselves." -- BuzzFeed "Gorgeous . . . a really wonderful story." --NBC New York " 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. The Maines family is as American as they come. In the journey they take toward authenticity and justice, we see a model for the future of our country, a future in which all of us--mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters--somehow find the courage, and the love, to become our best selves." --Jennifer Finney Boylan, co-chair of GLAAD and author of She''s Not There: A Life in Two Genders "Gripping . . . a timely, significant examination." -- Kirkus Reviews "This poignant account of a transgender girl''s transition offers a heartfelt snapshot of a family whose only objective is to protect their daughter. Tackling the subject from a biological, social, and psychological viewpoint, Pulitzer-winning reporter Nutt . . . succeeds in placing Nicole''s individual story within the more general narrative of transgender rights in the United States and humanizes the issues currently at play." -- Publishers Weekly "[Shows how one] family took precious steps in order to understand, support, and celebrate differences that make us all unique. If you want to get a look into a family that has made great strides to change the way some people think about the American nuclear family, and accept the beauty of the world around us, definitely buy this book." -- Philadelphia From the Hardcover edition.

Synopsis
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * The inspiring true story of transgender actor and activist Nicole Maines, whose identical twin brother, Jonas, and ordinary American family join her on an extraordinary journey to understand, nurture, and celebrate the uniqueness in us all. Nicole appears as TV's first transgender superhero on CW's Supergirl When Wayne and Kelly Maines adopted identical twin boys, they thought their lives were complete. But by the time Jonas and Wyatt were toddlers, confusion over Wyatt's insistence that he was female began to tear the family apart. In the years that followed, the Maineses came to question their long-held views on gender and identity, to accept Wyatt's transition to Nicole, and to undergo a wrenching transformation of their own, the effects of which would reverberate through their entire community. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Amy Ellis Nutt spent almost four years reporting this story and tells it with unflinching honesty, intimacy, and empathy. In her hands, Becoming Nicole is more than an account of a courageous girl and her extraordinary family. It's a powerful portrait of a slowly but surely changing nation, and one that will inspire all of us to see the world with a little more humanity and understanding. Named One of the Ten Best Books of the Year by People * One of the Best Books of the Year by The New York Times Book Review and Men's Journal * A Stonewall Honor Book in Nonfiction * Finalist for the Lambda Literary Award for Transgender Nonfiction "Fascinating and enlightening." --Cheryl Strayed "If you aren't moved by Becoming Nicole, I'd suggest there's a lump of dark matter where your heart should be." -- The New York Times "Exceptional . . .
