ISBN:  9780062368201 (hc.) Edition:  1st ed. Description:  385 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. Summary:  Born into the beautiful bedlam of downtown New York in the eighties, iO Tillett Wright came of age at the intersection of punk, poverty, heroin, and art. No personality was more vibrant and formidable than her mother Rhonna's, a showgirl and young widow, a mercurial, erratic glamazon. She was iO's fiercest defender and only authority in a world with few boundaries and even fewer indicators of normal life. At the center of the book is the remarkable relationship between a fiery kid and a domineering ma - a bond defined by freedom and control, excess and sacrifice; by heartbreaking deprivation, agonizing rupture, and, ultimately, forgiveness. A provocative examination of culture and identity, of the instincts that shape us and the norms that deform us, and of the courage and resilience it takes to listen closely to your deepest self. When a group of boys refuse to let six-year-old, female-born iO play ball, iO instantly adopts a new persona, becoming a boy named Ricky - a choice iO's parents support and celebrate. It is the start of a profound exploration of gender and identity through the tenderest years, and the beginning of a life invented and reinvented at every step. The candid, tough, and stirring memoir of a young person in search of an authentic self as family and home life devolve into chaos. In 2012, iO presented a TEDxWomen Talk called "Fifty Shades of Gay." It has been viewed nearly 2.5 million times. Genre:  Autobiographies.
