Editorial Reviews
Speaking for those who have had 'difference squeezed or pounded or prayed' out of them and of being 'trapped in a world that makes very little space for bodies like mine,' Coyote is by turn eloquent, provocative, and persuasive. -Vancouver Sun
A wryly confessional memoir ... by turns raw, bittersweet, and funny. -Publishers Weekly
An emotionally powerful memoir by a great storyteller about normal life. -The Globe and Mail
Coyote is poetic in their phrasing and plain spoken with their truths. -EDGE Media Network
