Steffler recently revealed that she’s working on a collection of stories about a trans teenager, and this is the first one in the series. It’s gorgeous and heartbreaking, and I can’t wait to read more.

She drives past Linda’s one-story ranch house to see if the open house is getting good traffic. Cars are parked along the curb, and the front door is wide open. But as usual, her eyes are drawn to the garage door; she can’t unsee Linda’s boy hanging from a garage rafter.
