Detransition, Baby
A Novel
By: Torrey Peters
Narrated by: Renata Friedman
Length: 12 hours 31 minutes
Audiobook details Add to Wish List“This book led to my favorite book club conversation to date. The characters are messy and mostly unlikeable and Peters unflinchingly dives straight into topics in trans identity often considered taboo, without worrying about placating a cisgender audience.

Narrated by: Kristen Sieh
Length: 4 hours 43 minutes
Audiobook details Add to Wish List“Patricia Lackwood's Priestdaddy is one of my favorite memoirs of all time, so I knew I just HAD to get my hands on her debut novel.
