It is said that souls have a direct connection to their creator, and some of us recognize our souls before the rest of the world catches on. This is the story of a child's soul not yet marred by the limitations of labels, corporeality, and social credence. It is a story that acknowledges the unfortunate consequences of this awareness in a world hellbent on distorting and confining our miraculous, infinite souls into insignificant caricatures of culture and custom.

Tears are not a burden nor a weakness, but they show your strength. They show that something is bothering you, yet you are trying to cope with it.
You are allowed to feel whatever you want as a human being but you can’t remain in that condition forever, we humans need to change. Stillness is not normal but change is.

This book is a courageous and deeply moving portrayal of a child’s journey through identity, guilt, and the crushing weight of societal norms. The author illustrates the life of a trans child who is unfairly treated as though born under a curse, carrying guilt from birth, yet yearning to embrace the truth of living as a girl.
What makes this story remarkable is its raw honesty. It doesn’t shy away from the pain, the isolation, or the misunderstanding that so many children face when they don’t fit into rigid expectations. At the same time, it shines with empathy and tenderness, reminding us that every child deserves love, acceptance, and the freedom to be themselves.
The narrative is both heartbreaking and inspiring. It challenges readers to confront their own biases and to see the humanity in those who are often marginalized. The writing is vivid, the emotions are palpable, and the message is urgent: no child should ever feel like a curse for simply existing.
This book is not just a story, it’s a call for compassion, understanding, and change. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who values literature that speaks truth to power and gives voice to those who are too often silenced.

Absolutely loved reading this. Rumaisa successfully managed to capture the fear and pain felt by individuals that are unable to fit into the society's rigid norms.
