Small Beauty

Winner of 29th Annual Lambda Literary Award for Transgender Fiction 2016 Writers’ Trust of Canada Dayne Ogilvie Prize for LGBTQ Emerging Writers, Finalist

Small Beauty tells the story of Mei, a mixed race trans woman managing the death of her cousin, the ways she contorts to navigate racism and transphobia, and her desire for community as she takes an opportunity to leave the city and revisit a town from her family’s past, where she discovers queer family history while parsing through her own anger and trauma.
