Publisher's Summary

A new edition of the acclaimed debut story collection by two-time Lambda Literary Award winner Casey Plett.

From the author of Little Fish (Amazon First Novel Award Winner, 2019) and A Dream of a Woman comes eleven unique short stories featuring young trans women stumbling through loss, sex, harassment, and love in settings ranging from a rural Mennonite town to a hipster gay bar in Brooklyn. These stories, shiny with whiskey and prairie sunsets, rattling subways and neglected cats, show growing up as a trans girl can be charming, funny, frustrating, or sad, but never will it be predictable.

A Safe Girl to Love, winner of the The Lambda Literary Award for Transgender Fiction, was first published in 2014. Now in audio after a long absence in print, this new edition includes an afterword by the author.

“An astounding debut by an original new literary voice.”—Zoe Whittall, author of The Spectacular and The Best Kind of People

“Casey Plett’s stories are exquisite, riveting, transformative, reasonably pissed off and joyously and riskily generous in the audience they imagine.”—Trish Salah, author of Lyric Sexology, Vol. 1 and Wanting in Arabic
