Deirdre McKenna | Never Said Goodbye

Growing up in the outskirts of Boston, Deirdre had a complicated relationship with most people, especially because of her conflicted feelings inside. Although she’d been born a guy it didn’t feel right, but telling that to her conservative Catholic family was never going to be easy.
