From Ginny Rorby, author of Hurt Go Happy , winner of ALA's Schneider Family Book Award, comes the inspiring and insightful story of a transgender girl and an abandoned dog who overcome adversity to find a home, love, and a sense of belonging.
When her mother passes away and her father leaves town soon afterward, Finch can't help feeling abandoned. Now she's stuck living with her stepfather and his new wife. They're mostly nice, but they don't believe the one true thing Finch knows about herself: that she's a girl, even if they think she's a boy.

As she earns the dog's trust, Finch realizes she must also learn to trust the people in her life. People she never expected that love her and help her to be true to...
