WHO YOU ONCE WERE

a debut magical realism novel

Soon-to-be high school graduate Cameron Bechdahl just knows that her life would be easier if she'd been born a boy. Her stepfather would actually like her, and she wouldn't have to tiptoe around at school. She tells herself this before going to sleep one night, and when she wakes up the next morning-- she is a boy. Cameron panics and thinks her best friend, Archie, must have done this to her. Surely, he can undo it... Right? But it turns out, he can't.

Now, Cameron and Archie are forced onto a journey lined with tough questions and bizarre dangers. How are you supposed to figure out who you are, if you never even felt comfortable with yourself to begin with?
