Book Description
Kyle never got that football star body he’d always dreamed of. Nope. Instead, he was stuck with his petite figure, what his classmates liked to call, “a chick’s body.” Nothing ever went his way, that is, until he embraced what he had and decided to try something crazy at his new school: showing up as a girl, in makeup, girl’s clothes, sporting a fancy new name: Kyla. He has the whole school fooled, and for once, he feels good. So good that he decides to take his new identity to a whole other level—going under the knife, beginning a full transition towards becoming a real girl. Now, with his new body, he even makes the cheer squad. But the big first game is coming up, and no one told Kyla about her big initiation in the locker room, with the whole football team.

Book Description
I spent my whole life dreaming of being an athlete. I’d always been good at sports, but there was one problem: that growth spurt I was waiting for never came. I was short, the same height I was when I was twelve years old. I thought that I was just going to be a late-bloomer, but my doctor told me one day, “You aren’t a late-bloomer, Kory. You were an early-bloomer. You just didn’t bloom to be so big.” It seems like my dreams of being a Wildcat will never come true. I’ll never get to lead a team to victory. But Eva, the cheerleading captain, has a proposal for me. She insists that there is a way that I can still help the team, by motivating the players and building up their confidence. I thought that I was willing to do anything, but am I willing to put on a wig, some makeup, and a dress—for a dozen men?

Going There
Author: Katie Couric
Publisher: Little, Brown
ISBN: 0316535877
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 695
Book Description
This heartbreaking, hilarious, and brutally honest memoir shares the deeply personal life story of a girl next door and her transformation into a household name. For more than forty years, Katie Couric has been an iconic presence in the media world. In her brutally honest, hilarious, heartbreaking memoir, she reveals what was going on behind the scenes of her sometimes tumultuous personal and professional life - a story she’s never shared, until now. Of the medium she loves, the one that made her a household name, she says, “Television can put you in a box; the flat-screen can flatten. On TV, you are larger than life but smaller, too. It is not the whole story, and it is not the whole me. This book is.” Beginning in early childhood, Couric was inspired by her journalist father to pursue the career he loved but couldn’t afford to stay in. Balancing her vivacious, outgoing personality with her desire to be taken seriously, she overcame every obstacle in her way: insecurity, an eating disorder, being typecast, sexism . . . challenges, and how she dealt with them, setting the tone for the rest of her career. Couric talks candidly about adjusting to sudden fame after her astonishing rise to co-anchor of the TODAY show, and guides us through the most momentous events and news stories of the era, to which she had a front-row seat: Rodney King, Anita Hill, Columbine, the death of Princess Diana, 9/11, the Iraq War . . . In every instance, she relentlessly pursued the facts, ruffling more than a few feathers along the way. She also recalls in vivid and sometimes lurid detail the intense pressure on female anchors to snag the latest “get”—often sensational tabloid stories like Jon Benet Ramsey, Tonya Harding, and OJ Simpson. Couric’s position as one of the leading lights of her profession was shadowed by the shock and trauma of losing her husband to stage 4 colon cancer when he was just 42, leaving her a widow and single mom to two daughters, 6 and 2. The death of her sister Emily, just three years later, brought yet more trauma—and an unwavering commitment to cancer awareness and research, one of her proudest accomplishments. Couric is unsparing in the details of her historic move to the anchor chair at the CBS Evening News—a world rife with sexism and misogyny. Her “welcome” was even more hostile at 60 Minutes, an unrepentant boys club that engaged in outright hazing of even the most established women. In the wake of the MeToo movement, Couric shares her clear-eyed reckoning with gender inequality and predatory behavior in the workplace, and downfall of Matt Lauer—a colleague she had trusted and respected for more than a decade. Couric also talks about the challenge of finding love again, with all the hilarity, false-starts, and drama that search entailed, before finding her midlife Mr. Right. Something she has never discussed publicly—why her second marriage almost didn’t happen. If you thought you knew Katie Couric, think again. Going There is the fast-paced, emotional, riveting story of a thoroughly modern woman, whose journey took her from humble origins to superstardom. In these pages, you will find a friend, a confidante, a role model, a survivor whose lessons about life will enrich your own.
