I loved reading this. There needs to be more books showing ppl taking a stand like this. You are not and should not be the reputation the world puts on you, and you have the power to change your narrative. I don't know if there are other books that also tell this type of story, but this is one book that I know would have helped a lot where I grew up. You define your values, not society. And you can re-shape them whenever the hell you want.
