IT GETS BETTER . . . EXCEPT WHEN IT GETS WORSE And Other Unsolicited Truths I Wish Someone Had Told Me

Nobody else could narrate this memoir like its author, actor and transgender activist Nicole Maines. Raw and candid, she lets the listener hear her anger and joy, frustration and hope. Her authenticity when describing messy moments in her life is all the more compelling in her own voice. Her story may be familiar from the book BECOMING NICOLE, which is about her and her family's experiences when Nicole made her gender known. Now Nicole tells her own story--a simple one made complicated by others' preconceptions, prejudices, and fears. Moreover, it's an important story for anyone who wants more understanding of what it means to be transgender. Nicole explains the controversies over bathrooms in school and puberty blockers, along with the harmful effects of the current political environment.
