Kathleen Winter's poignant debut novel was a finalist for the Scotiabank Giller Prize. In it, Winter explores society's views of gender identity through the eyes of a child born with male and female sex organs. At their doctor's urging, the Blakes decide to raise their child as a boy, Wayne, giving him hormones to suppress his feminine physical traits. But after discovering the secret about his body, Wayne decides to stop taking his medication and lets his body develop naturally. "A compelling, gracefully written novel ."-Kirkus Reviews
