Alex As Well by Alyssa Brugman
"You Will Never Forget Her"
Alex
is not just your average teen dealing with emotions, identity and
parents that are unwilling to listen or understand. Growing up Alex was
always different, special. But now after making a life changing decision
Alex is branded a weirdo and worse, and not just by strangers, just for
accepting what Alex feels to be true on the inside. The struggles,
conflicts and courage it takes to change a life and accept ones true
self is a hard path to follow, especially for Alex.
Alex As Well
is a challenging, charming and unique story of an individual who was
raised as a boy, but who desperately want to be the girl Alex's feels to
be on the inside. A story encompassing issues of gender, identity,
acceptance and family. It tells of the pressures to conform to the
expectations of peers, parents and society and the bravery it takes to
challenge these expectations in order to be the person Alex is inside. A
story that you will never forget and a girl you will remember always.
