Excerpt: 

I left her, but tears sprang in my eyes. Most adults had been lying to us our whole lives and Rosie believed them. They always praised her for being such a beautiful, lovely girl. How proud our parents must be! What an equally beautiful, lovely bride she’d be. No one asked Rosie what she thought. I realized then with a bitter chill; no one cared. She was pretty and that’s all that mattered.

But they usually started when they saw me sitting or standing nearby. What a fetching lad her brother is! They would burst forth and wonder why I flushed and said nothing to them. Mama would correct them and apologize for my unusual dress.

It’s a shame your Matilda wasn’t a young man- the girls would fall over themselves to speak to her, thinking she was a strapping young lad.

There was a beauty to me is what I heard them say over and over again but it was masculine not feminine.
