520 _aBorn into traumatic circumstances, Brady-Davis was brought up in the Omaha foster care system and the Pentecostal faith. As a biracial, gender-nonconforming kid, she felt displaced, but has come to realize that she had a purpose all along. Here Brady-Davis reflects on a childhood of neglect, instability, and abandonment. She reveals her determination to dream through it and shares her profound journey as a trans woman now fully actualized, absolutely confident, and precious. In relating her sojourn as a song of self-reliance and pride, she offers an invitation to join in the chorus. -- adapted from jacket
