Trans - Trap
What happens when small town bigotry meets big city progressiveness? Trans-Trap! Trans-Trap is the latest work by Ms. Fifi Frost. Fifi won the 2016 Next Generation Indie Book Award for her riveting memoir, Rusted Rhinestones. Trans-Trap is not your usual coming of age story. Meet Jamie and Chris, two teens attending Chicken Foot High School, in Chicken Foot, La. They learn first hand how a rumor can destroy lives. We learn just how far some will go to keep a lie alive. Jamie learns that he will never fit in, as he is set on a path to self-discovery while facing what seems to be impossible odds along the way. From white supremacist to crooked law enforcement. With a plot ripped straight from today's headlines and a storyline worthy of the silver screen. Trans-Trap will take the reader on a roller coaster ride of emotions, wondering what will happen with each page turn. Follow each character, some you will love, some not. Written with humor and compassion, Trans-Trap is sure to be a story you will not soon forget. Adult themes, and language earns this story a trigger warning and is not for children.

I believe this book would make a great movie. Lol. Some of the situations are based on true events. I would also like to thank Teresa for all of her research for an upcoming project.
Trans Trap is the newest offering from Ms. Fifi Frost. Fifi won the 2016 Next Generation Indie Book Award for her riveting memoir Rusted Rhinestones. In Trans Trap you will follow 2 teens. Jamie and Chris in an unexpected journey. With each page turn the reader will be taken in a roller coaster ride of emotions. written with compassion, humor and drama. I hope each person will love this book. some experience are based on actual events. big hugs y'all. First this is an unusual book, both in structure and vernacular. However, the treatment suits the time, place, and actions of the characters in the story.
The author has given us a realistic look into the world of those individuals who struggle to live their lives in the midst of bigotry and hatred. The characters are well drawn and very quickly you are an eager observer of all they do and say.
The subject matter is timely and, without preaching, deals with the issues of gender identity and sexual preference with insight and respect.
In addition the narrator, utilizing, utilizing and, at times, raw humor to lighten the drama without weakening the message of intolerance and bitter insecurities make some people monsters and to many others become bystander's and just "go along".
Trans Trap will, no doubt, so very well within it's genre, with excellent potential to reach a wider readership via social media, print, etc...
Many thanks to Fififrost and James for a most enjoyable experience.

A hard book to read, but the Best book read I've had in a very long time! Reading the journey from Fifi perspective broke my heart and in turns made me angry and sad at the small minded people she had to indure. But indure she did and the world, I hope, is a better place.
