Oscar Wilde was a wild one. His statements were bold, his career was successful, and his tongue was sharp. Not only did he disturb the common narrative of the nuclear family, the Catholic church, and the idea of patriotism, but he also blew many people away with his defense of his principles, his criticism of the state, philosophies on life itself, and more.

Forty years ago, there were no role models for Dawn, who, in early childhood, knew that something was really not right about her body. She had no idea what it was. Perhaps, her family also sensed something about this as well because they treated her like an outsider, and she suffered unthinkable abuse because of it. She had no name for what she was feeling and no one to turn to. If her teenaged suicide plan had been realized, or had she not had the compassion of a few key people along the way, there would be no triumph to be shared in this audiobook.
