Caddyshack Review
“Boy, girl, artist, advocate. Courtney is more than the sum of her parts”. This magical memoir takes the reader on a journey of Shane’s segue to becoming Courtney and back again. Shane paints a beautiful picture of sexuality and gender and how the two are not and need not ever be fixed, but are fluid. This memoir highlights that the best body to be living in is the one that makes you happiest!
