Being GiLBerT

Piper is just starting her freshman year of high school in West Virginia. She is neither pretty nor smart. She has never felt like she fit in anywhere. That changes when she begins to make friends with the kids at school who dress in all black. They help her discover herself—her politics, her religion, even her gender. But as she gets deeper and deeper into the clique, she feels like she is getting in over her head. Is Piper truly finding herself, or just the self they want her to find? She wants to keep her friends, but at what cost? And what does it truly mean to be transgender?
