About this listen

Go west, young man. Isn’t that the advice every east coast boy has considered at least once in his life?

At 19, almost 20, Ron Bancroft thinks those words sound pretty good. Newly out as transgender, Ron finds himself adrift: kicked out by his family, jilted by his girlfriend, and unable to afford to return to college in the fall. So he heads out to Wyoming for a new start, a chance to prove that - even though he was raised as a girl, even though everyone in Boston thinks of him as transgender - he can live as a man. A real man.

In Wyoming, he finds what he was looking for: rugged terrain, wranglers, and a clean slate. He also stumbles into a world more dangerous than he imagined, one of bigotry and violence. And he falls for an intriguing young woman, who seems as interested in him as he is in her. Thus begins Ron’s true adventure, a search not for the right place in America, but the right place within himself to find truth, happiness, and a sense of belonging.

I cannot explain adequately how much I loved this book but I am sad to have finished it! Ron is such an engaging lead and I'm really glad to have been able to join him on his journey out west. I also really want to go to the wilderness now! This book ended differently than I was expecting which I am glad about - it was the perfect end to a perfect story. Thank you Audible for recommending it!

This was an interesting book and I would recommend it. It was a gentle read and gave an insight into the challenges, thoughts and feelings that this young man faced. What I would say is I found the love interest a bit unrealistic. The idea that an independent woman in her late 20s would find a young guy 8 or 9 years her junior who essentially looked like a guy yet to hit puberty, attractive was a bit stretched and slightly odd to me.
