Publisher's summary

When the seventh child of the Peace family, named Perfect, turns eight, her mother, Emma Jean, tells her bewildered daughter, "You was born a boy. I made you a girl. But that ain't what you was supposed to be. So from now on, you gon' be a boy. It'll be a little strange at first, but you'll get used to it, and this'll be over after while."

From this point forward, his life becomes a bizarre kaleidoscope of events. Meanwhile, the Peace family is forced to question everything they thought they knew about gender, sexuality, unconditional love, and fulfillment.

This is a MUST read!!!

All that I can say is that my Book Club is loving this book! We heard Mr. Black read excerpts at the NBCC this August in Atlanta and the only thing that would have made this audible better was his voice reading it! But it is an awesome story...I may listen again it is so good.

Mesmerizing, Purple, Heartwarming, and Memorable.

This story was so deeply layered, you will remember its characters days and even weeks long after you've finished it. Highly recommended.

Sooo heartbreaking and unique and beautiful

This book was one of the most unique I’ve ever read. The characters were so beautifully crafted that I felt as if I were watching them act.
Highly recommend this book.
The narrator was amazing as well.

A Thoughtful Tale

A timeless tale of the South; told to teach, by a master story teller and even more spell binding narrator.

This novel was a great read.

I laughed then cried with various emotions in between. It's engaging and speaks to a lot of present day issues. It leaves you with "Perfect Peace "

Unexpected gem

I felt every emotion and loved every bit of this book. I loved how it touched upon a number of issues that affect the black community. The character development was done quite well in my opinion. The narrator did a great job too.
