Between the Depths of Despair and Discovery: A Transgender Love Story

TW: Self-harm and suicide topics

Two tenth graders who met in band during 6th grade and started dating, struggle to figure out who they really are. Our two main characters are Alan and Nora; Alan is an independent, reliable trans boy who loves skateboarding and has a passion for reading, but only if the books contain some smut with a hint of kinkiness Nora, on the other hand, issues an introvert who is very co-dependent on people closest to her with very conservative religious parents that forbid her to be seen with Alan. They have an uproar when they find out of all of Noras' rule breaking habits. We introduce some side characters in the later chapters. Mental health and healing is key in this book. If topics of self-harm and suicide trigger you, this story may not be for you.
