PRAISE

“The real power of ‘Tranny’ (co-written with the journalist Dan Ozzi) comes from Grace’s journal entries, which tell the real-time story of a quest for self that winds through addiction, divorce and, ultimately, action to address the agonizing dysphoria.”
The New York Times Book Review

“A truly gripping tale.”
—Trevor Noah, The Daily Show

“A powerful, disarmingly honest portrait of becoming.”
Entertainment Weekly

“A savagely candid transgender memoir, and thus far, the only quintessential text regarding Against Me!–one of the most significant punk bands of the aughts and onward.”
Esquire

“Grace and co-writer Dan Ozzi spin green room drama and rock star recklessness into a gem of a rock bio that belongs on a shelf alongside Hammer of the Gods and Get in the Van.”
Paste Magazine, Best Nonfiction Books of 2016

“Riveting and at times harrowing.”
Publishers Weekly, starred review

“This book is a mandatory read for anyone interested in gender identity, intellectual punk rock, or an engrossing account of a great rock and roll band, subjects that may sound mutually exclusive but here are inextricably linked.”
—Shirley Manson, Garbage
