      Riveting and utterly real, this narrative portrays a young woman on a quest for purpose and belonging, starting just before her twentieth birthday. Janet Mock, a first-generation college student at the University of Hawaii, balances her academic life with her nights as a dancer at a strip club. Embracing her identity, she navigates the complexities of dating, intimacy, and the challenge of being seen. At Club Nu, she meets Troy, a naval yeoman, marking a significant moment in her journey. Their relationship unfolds against the backdrop of her early twenties, filled with the universal experiences of love, independence, and self-discovery. Despite facing numerous challenges, Janet pursues her dreams with determination, eventually making her way to New York City and carving out a career in the competitive magazine publishing industry as a trans woman of color. Long before she became a respected media figure and advocate for equality, she was a young woman learning to advocate for herself. Through her successes and failures, this story will inspire readers, alter perceptions, and affirm the ongoing journey of self-discovery.
