Challenging Reads Book Club

This month, we are reading 'Beyond Magenta' by Susan Kuklin.

A groundbreaking work of LGBT literature takes an honest look at the life, love and struggles of transgender teens.

Author and photographer, Susan Kuklin, met and interviewed six transgender or gender-neutral young adults and used her considerable skills to represent them thoughtfully and respectfully before, during and after their personal acknowledgment of gender preference. Portraits, family photographs and candid images grace the pages, augmenting the emotional and physical journey each youth has taken. Each honest discussion and disclosure, whether joyful or heartbreaking, is completely different from the other because of family dynamics, living situations, gender and the transition these teens make in recognition of their true selves.
