Girard

the kind of girl she’s always been. So why does everyone have a problem with
it? They think the way she looks and acts means she’s trying to be a boy – that
she should quit trying to be something she’s not. If she dresses like a girl,
and does what her folks want, it will show respect. If she takes orders and
does what her friend Colby wants, it will show her loyalty. But respect and
loyalty, Pen discovers, are empty words. Old-world parents, disintegrating
friendships, and strong feelings for other girls drive Pen to see the truth – that
in order to be who she truly wants to be, she’ll have to man up.” –Amazon
