Here's to Letting Go weaves through the memories of a child seeking safety that was never found at Home.

An unfiltered view from a young trans, non-binary person who desperately sought help but could bring yet more danger. This poetry memoir shines a light on what it takes to survive a childhood of chaos and danger and find a path towards acceptance and healing.
