The Heart of the Matter

By E J Shelley

"Daddy, why don't you want me?"

10-year-old Sammy knew the answer, and he'd do almost anything to change it.

But he couldn't change who he was inside.

For years he'd yanked off the frilly dresses his father loved, and by age 6, he found the words and the courage to speak his truth: "I'm a boy."

When his father walks away, Sammy and his mother are left to rebuild their lives.

Together they face prejudice, loss, and pain. But they also discover the power of devotion, friendship, hope, and unexpected love.

In this story of a child's transition, those who love him most may find their own lives transformed.
