Dress Codes: a story of three girlhoods - my mother's, my father's and mine

Description

Growing up, Noelle Howey hardly spoke to her distant, bad-tempered father. 'After coming home, he'd mix up a twelve-consonant vodka and orange juice and then sleep, watch TV, drink, and sleep again. Occasionally, he'd shake up the routine by eating a salad.' Instead Noelle drew all her comfort from her wonderful, tomboyish mother. Then, at fourteen, Noelle finally discovered her father's secret: Dick Howey liked to wear women's clothing. In fact, he wanted to be a woman. With his secret out, everything changed. Noelle, used to being ignored, had to deal with a father who suddenly wanted to be involved in her life. What's more, because of his hormone treatment, father and daughter were going through adolescence together . . . "Impossible to ignore, and impossible to put down." - School Library Journal.
