A Safe Girl to Love

Written by Casey Plett

Narrated by Casey Plett

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 back in print after a long absence, this new edition includes an afterword by the author.
