Rethinking Normal: A Memoir in Transition

Rethinking Normal: A Memoir in Transition

In her unique, generous, and affecting voice, nineteen-year-old Katie Rain Hill shares her personal journey of undergoing gender reassignment. Now with a reading group guide!

Katie Rain Hill realized very young that a serious mistake had been made; she was a girl who had been born in the body of a boy. Suffocating under her peersâ€™ bullying and the mounting pressure to be â€œnormal,â€ Katie tried to take her life at the age of eight years old. After several other failed attempts, she finally understood that â€œKatieâ€â€”the girl trapped within herâ€”was determined to live.

In this first-person account, Katie reflects on her pain-filled childhood and the events leading up to the life-changing decision to undergo gender reassignment as a teenager. She reveals the unique challenges she faced while unlearning how to be a boy and shares what it was like to navigate the dating worldâ€”and experience heartbreak for the first timeâ€”in a body that matched her gender identity.

Told in an unwaveringly honest voice, Rethinking Normal is a coming-of-age story about transcending physical appearances and redefining the parameters of â€œnormalcyâ€ to embody oneâ€™s true self.
