**September **
Love Lives Here: a story of thriving in a transgender family by Amanda Jette Knox
Date: Monday, September 27 at 7 p.m.
In this heartfelt memoir, Amanda shares the journey of her family.  From realization and acceptance of her child and spouse as transgender to her own realization of her true self.  A testament to what it means to lead with love.

**October **aman
This is How it Always Is by Laurie Frankel
Date: Monday, October 25 at 7 p.m.
Claude is 5 years old, the youngest of five brothers. He likes peanut butter sandwiches and playing with his friends. He also loves wearing dresses and dreams of being a princess. This is the story of a family who love and support their child and worry about how this secret, once public, will change his world.

**November **
I’m Afraid of Men by Vivek Shraya
Date: Monday, November 29 at 7 p.m.
Vivek Shaya has endured acts of cruelty and aggression throughout her life for being too feminine as a boy and yet not feminine enough as a girl. Her story details her journey to embrace who she really is but also, how we all might learn to cherish the things that make us unique and different.

**December**
Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas
Monday, December 20 at 7 p.m.
