Work Description
Transgender and living as a man, twenty-one-year-old Brandon Teena hit the dust bowl town of Falls City, Nebraska, on the run from his family in Lincoln - and from the law for forging checks. Handsome and sophisticated, Brandon was an instant success, with young women hanging all over him. But when Brandon started to date the beautiful blonde Lana Tisdel, his luck ran out. In a terrifying incident on Christmas Eve, Brandon's true sexual identity was unmasked. On New Year's eve, Brandon, his roommate, and a friend were found shot to death in an isolated farmhouse.Writing with the exclusive cooperation of Brandon's ex-girlfriends and family, the accused murderers, and numerous other sources, "New York Times" bestselling author Aphrodite Jones explores the extravagant life and violent death of Brandon Teena, as well as the investigation and murder trial. Jones lays bare an America where many young people boldly experiment with gender identity, challenging our ideas of male and female, gay and straight - and where Brandon Teena and his friends paid a terrible price for sexual freedom.
