"I first met Amy Ellis Nutt when she proposed writing a book about Nicole Maines, her identical twin brother, and their family. At a diner in New Jersey, over eggs and coffee, Amy and I talked for a couple of hours about this remarkable family and their journey — not only to accept their transgender daughter but to celebrate her and fight for her rights and the rights of all transgender Americans. I left the diner knowing Amy would write an important book and that I wanted to edit it for Random House."
