I am j, paperback/cris beam

A powerful and inspiring story about a transgender teens struggle to find his own path -- and love his true self.

J had always felt different.

He was certain that eventually everyone would understand who he really was: a boy mistakenly born as a girl.

Yet as he grew up, his body began to betray him; eventually J stopped praying to wake up a real boy and started covering up his body, keeping himself invisible -- from his parents, from his friends, from the world.

But after being deserted by the best friend he thought would always be by his side, J decides that hes done hiding -- its time to be who he really is.

And this time he is determined not to give up, no matter the cost.
