Where's MY Book? A Guide for Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming Youth, Their Parents, & Everyone Else Wins Eric Hoffer Book Award

"Delight in the Bloom" is one of Jacqui Beck's many
paintings featured in "Where's MY Book?"

"'Where's MY Book?' A Guide for Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming Youth, Their Parents, & Everyone Else" was awarded the 2016 Eric Hoffer Book Award in the category of Health.


The US Review of Books acknowledged the book as follows:
"Even as society has evolved toward greater acceptance of gays, lesbians, and bisexuals, the transgender and gender nonconforming individuals remain less tolerated and respected as full human beings. Dr. Gromko brings her years of experience as a family practitioner with a particular interest in transgender patients to this comprehensive and enlightening volume. Where’s My Book? works on many levels: It is a text on gender as biological and a social category. It is a reference work for individuals and families. It is passionate appeal for those often marginalized by a hetero-normative society. The jargon-free prose makes it accessible to younger readers, a particular population of interest to the author, while never compromising on scientific accuracy and completeness."
 
The Eric Hoffer Book Award is one of the largest international book awards for small, academic, and independent presses.
 
The book is available in paperback and in a Kindle version on Amazon.com.
