Handsome : stories of an awkward girl boy human / Holly Lorka. - 179 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm
"As a horny little kid, Holly Lorka had no idea why God had put her in the wrong body and made her want to kiss girls. She had questions: Was she a monster? Would she ever be able to grow sideburns? And most importantly, where was her penis? The problem was, it was the 1970s, so there were no answers yet. Here, Lorka tells the story--by turns hilarious and poignant--of her romp through the first fifty years of her life searching for sex, love, acceptance, and answers to her questions. With a sharp wit, endearing innocence, and indelible sense of optimism, she struggles through the awkward years (spoiler: that's all of them) and discovers that what she thought were mistakes are actually powerful tools to launch her into a magical--and ridiculous--life." --Back Cover
