00 Ingenues_0.jpg

Ingenue definition: 1. a young woman who has little experience and is very trusting

I suppose that most people think of transgirls as being tough – the very opposite of an ingenue. I think that we were, but fragility and sensitivity are so much a part of being feminine – don’t you think?

Stuck in the Middle


In this chapter, Emily faces an unexpectedly long school day, where the weight of routine and lingering frustration make everything feel slower. As she navigates the usual rhythms of class, lunch, and detention, the quiet moments seem louder than ever. By the end of the day, the comfort of home offers a welcome escape from the exhaustion of it all.

Being Christina Chase | Chapter 45: Princess

As right as it felt, Christina knew she’d eventually have to leave this life behind.
There would be no storybook ending for Christina Chase; there was no way she could conceive of it.
Even if she could figure out a way to remain Christina forever, she could never believe that anyone
would ever want to marry her. Since coming to Oak Grove, Christina had experienced being popular
and the intoxication of feeling desired, but the essential truth remained the same; in the end,

everyone would always leave her.

Pretty, Please by Jo Dora Webster on Kindle

Author: 

Audience Rating: 

Organizational: 

"Granny, Granny, please tell us a story! Pretty please, Granny!" said nine year old Linda as she sat on the floor with her twin sister Julia.

They had on matching sky blue blouses and navy blue skorts which each had embroidered a red rose with green stem and leaves as well as the first initial of their name. They both looked precious in their white knee socks and black Mary Jane's. Each of them looked intently at me with their deep blue eyes, resisting the temptation to twirl their long blonde hair in their fingers, since they loved my stories.

Before I could answer, Julia burst out, "Tell us a new one, Granny! Pretty, please!"

Two stories from BCTS in this volume:

Danny's Perdition: It’s the 24th century and Danny has discovered that his work for the government has several times condemned people to termination. The newest suspect has been thoroughly transformed by a department called “Visual Perfection,” and now Danny must do his duty, once again. Would traveling across the continent in an antique machine offer a realistic alternative?

Also included A Dollar Short: Tilford has a dead-end job. The idea that someone would offer him a great position seems alien.
