Then Mom and Dad announce that they’re going to have another baby, and Aidan wants to do everything he can to make things right for his new sibling from the beginning–from choosing the perfect name to creating a beautiful room to picking out the cutest onesie. After he realized he was a trans boy, Aidan and his parents fixed the parts of life that didn’t fit anymore, and he settled happily into his new life. His parents gave him a pretty name, his room looked like a girl’s room, and he wore clothes that other girls liked wearing. When Aidan was born, everyone thought he was a girl. Passionate, moving, and fiercely urgent, Patsy is a haunting depiction of immigration and womanhood, and the silent threads of love stretching across years and oceans.īuy it: B&N | Amazon When Aidan Became a Brother by Kyle Lukoff, ill. Meanwhile, back in Jamaica, Tru struggles with her own questions of identity and sexuality, grappling every day with what it means to be abandoned by a mother who has no intention of returning. But Brooklyn is not at all what Cicely described in her letters, and to survive as an undocumented immigrant, Patsy is forced to work as a bathroom attendant, and ironically, as a nanny. As the Ravens struggle to build a new identity, Shane and Troy succumb to the passion that might cost them everything.When Patsy gets her long-coveted visa to America, it’s the culmination of years of yearning to be reunited with Cicely, her oldest friend and secret love, who left home years before for the “land of opportunity.” Patsy’s plans do not include her religious mother or even her young daughter, Tru, both of whom she leaves behind in a bittersweet trail of sadness and relief. Despite his determination not to get involved, Shane unwillingly becomes part of the team… and is just as unwillingly drawn to the gruff, out-and-proud coach. Wanting to quit on his own terms, Shane agrees to a one-year contract with the Ravens and finds himself playing for a coach who thinks he's an aging goon, and with a team that doesn't trust him, Troy, or each other. Shane's career in the majors never quite took off. But Troy is disheartened when he finds out the Ravens have signed Shane North, a player known for his aggression-especially when Shane's rough good looks have Troy thinking inappropriate thoughts about a player, even if he's set to retire at the end of the season. When he's offered the opportunity to coach the Asheville Ravens-the most hated team in the ECHL-he's convinced that his no-nonsense attitude is just what the team needs to put their focus back on hockey.
