Foreword

The Poppy Alternative: what do you do when the world won't change with you? Poppy Fairhew asked that question far too many times throughout her transition from Michael into herself. It was a hard road, but the end of highschool saw a new beginning for the young country girl with corn silk hair- she was finally accepted for herself, and she was content to live a simple life. The simple life, however, was not content with her. This is the story of Roseanna, as seen through both Poppy and Michael's eyes; it is the story of a young trans person finally accepting himself with the help of someone who has already travelled the rocky road to transitioning, and of a teenage girl left behind in a world that rushes on and never slows down enough to change.
