A trans coming-of-age story rooted in cheer and chosen family

Set in rural Missouri in the early 2000s, the story follows Amber as cheerleading grows from an activity into a defining part of her life. Her relationships with Ashley, Sandra, and the squad form a supportive circle around questions of identity, love, and medical transition. As the first book in a series following Amber through high school and beyond, Freshman Year introduces a longer coming-of-age arc centered on trans joy and the families people build for themselves.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in trans coming-of-age fiction.
  • Readers seeking stories about cheerleading and supportive found family.
  • Readers interested in a series that follows a character through high school and beyond.
