This is one of the best stories I have found. It has lots of detail and emotion in it.

a really good story, told as if the reader were experiencing it, first hand as it happens. the story hits all the high spots one would want for this age bracket; first discovery, acceptance, leading to the blossoming of the main character's 'inner girl'. Shawn/Erin doesn't want what's happening to him to happen, but when it does his loving family rallys around him- what a wonderful, hopeful point of view.

Great work, Starhawk.
