One day I'll grow up and be a beautiful woman : a mother's story / 1 day I'll grow up and be a beautiful woman - First United States edition. - 320 pages ; 22 cm

"Abi Maxwell grew up in rural New Hampshire, one of eight children in a poor town abutting the wealthier lakeside village of Gilford. As a young couple, Maxwell and her husband planned not to have children, but when Maxwell became pregnant, she knew she wanted to raise her child near the mountains and lake of her youth. When her six-year-old asks to wear pink sneakers, asks to be a witch for Halloween, asks to wear a girls' dance costume, Abi worries about how their small community will react. But when that child changes her name, grows her hair long, and announces that she is girl, a firestorm descends on the family"--
