"I wanted to have a conversation with the world about transgender acceptance, to say, 'Maybe this isn't as big of a deal as you're making it out to be,'" explained Hyde, best known for her book-turned-movie, "Pay It Forward."
Hyde will read from "Jumpstart the World" and sign copies of it Nov. 13 at a San Luis Obispo fundraiser for Tranz-Central Coast, a local support group for transgender people.
