A summer before high school

Set in Kansas City, Kansas, during the summer before high school, this two-act play introduces Jamie Grant, a thirteen-year-old who is known to others as a boy but understands herself as Jennifer. A private diary holds the name and truth she is not yet ready to share. The play adapts the opening of the novella *Not Yet Jennifer: Becoming Jennifer Book One*, presenting this beginning as drama and including the first-love experiences described as shaping Jennifer’s future. Its central concerns are self-discovery, gender identity, privacy, and the expectations surrounding a young person’s life.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in plays about identity and growing up.
  • Readers exploring stories of gender identity and the experience of keeping a personal truth private.
  • Those interested in a theatrical adaptation of a novella’s opening story.

Book overview

Some summers change you quietly, before you ever have the words.

Thirteen-year-old Jamie Grant is caught in between worlds. It is the summer before high school in Kansas City, Kansas, a season of heat, waiting, and becoming. To everyone else, Jamie is still a boy, following rules, keeping his head down, surviving the expectations placed on him. But inside, she knows her truth. Her real name, Jennifer, lives only in the pages of a new diary, written in careful strokes, hidden from a world that is not yet ready to see her.

Not Yet Jennifer: A Play in Two Acts is based on the novella, Not Yet Jennifer: Becoming Jennifer Book One. It tells the beginning of Jennifer's story in a way you can only imagine when reading the book. We get to see Jamie as he finds out who she really is, and the moments of first love that shaped her future.
