1 GEORGE WASHINGTON
A
“Liberty, when it begins to take root, is a plant of rapid growth.”
Official portrait by Gilbert Stuart
PRESIDENT: April 30, 1789–March 4, 1797
BORN: February 22, 1732
WHERE: Westmoreland County, Colony of Virginia
DIED: December 14, 1799 (age 67)
SISTERS: Elizabeth (“Betty”), Mildred, and a half
sister, Jane
BROTHERS: Samuel, John, and three half brothers,
Butler, Lawrence, and Augustine
mericans call George Washington the “Father of Our Country.”
We do this for two reasons. He was the leader of our army during the
Revolutionary War and he was our first president.
Washington never went to school but read and studied a lot on his own. He
was especially good at math, and his first job was making maps. He also became a
soldier in the Virginia Regiment. Back then, Great Britain and France were fighting
over which country owned different parts of North America. We were still part of
Great Britain, so Washington fought against the French. That’s where he got his
reputation for being a really smart and brave soldier.
So, when the colonies decided to fight for their independence from Great
Britain, the leaders of the American Revolution selected him to be the commanderin-chief of the Continental Army. In fact, every one of the people in charge of the
Revolutionary War voted for him.
He hoped to return to his farm after the war, but again he was asked to serve
his country . . . this time as the president. Washington worked hard to keep the
new states unified. Indeed, he’s the only president who did not belong to a political
party. He also started many traditions. For example, he gave a State of the Union
address every year, chose his own Cabinet of advisers, and figured out a way for the
president and Senate to make treaties with other countries. He served two terms
(eight years), leaving office in 1797. By then he was sixty-five years old and happy
to return to his farm in Mount Vernon, Virginia. Unfortunately, two years later, he
died suddenly after falling ill during a long horseback ride in a bad storm.
OCCUPATIONS: surveyor, farmer, general,
commander-in-chief of the Continental Army
VICE PRESIDENT: John Adams
PARTY: none
NICKNAME: “Father of Our Country”
WIFE: Martha Dandridge Custis Washington
CHILDREN: none of his own, but he was a surrogate
father to his stepchildren, Jack and Patsy
PETS: seven dogs, a donkey, and a parrot; many
horses, including Old Nelson and Blueskin. He also
had sheep, pigs, and mules on his farm.
LOOK FOR HIM! $1 bill, 25¢ coin, Mount Rushmore
A “LIE” ABOUT A “LIE”! There’s a famous story that Washington chopped
down his father’s cherry tree and, in admitting it, said, “I cannot tell a lie.”
Actually, that story was a “lie” . . . something a writer made up about him.
But he had a good reason. He wanted to give an example of how honest
George was.
WOODEN TEETH? Another made-up story! His teeth were bad and he ended
up wearing a fake set after his fell out. The false ones were made of ivory,
animal teeth, and even human teeth! But not wood. Still, it doesn’t sound
like he brushed very well, which is strange because he had his horses’
teeth brushed!
11 JAMES K. POLK
J
“The presidency is no bed of roses.”
Official portrait by George P. A. Healy
PRESIDENT: March 4, 1845–March 4, 1849
BORN: November 2, 1795
WHERE: Pineville, North Carolina
DIED: June 15, 1849 (age 53)
SISTERS: Jane, Lydia, Naomi, Ophelia
BROTHERS: Franklin, Marshall, John, William, Samuel
OCCUPATIONS: lawyer, politician, farmer
VICE PRESIDENT: George M. Dallas
AMES K. POLK may have been the hardest-working president of all time.
He worked twelve to sixteen hours every day and didn’t take a single vacation
while president. He was so exhausted, he died from cholera just three months after
leaving office.
One reason he worked so hard was that he tried to solve four big problems:
(1) arguments with Canada and Mexico about where their borders were; (2) arguments
in Congress about which new states could have slaves; (3) where to get the money
to pay for everything; and (4) how to make sure the government took good care of
that money.
Polk did a pretty good job with all of these problems. First, he helped reduce
tariffs. A tariff is basically a tax on imported or exported goods, like food or clothing
or machines. All tariffs make things cost more for some people and less for others.
He not only made the tariffs fair, but he made sure the government took good care of
the money by creating an independent Treasury to make rules about money instead of
having state banks do it.
Finding solutions to borders and slavery was harder. In the Northwest, we almost
had a border war with Canada. But he compromised, and we ended up signing an agreement that gave the United States the area that is now Oregon and Washington. On our
southern border, Polk went to war with Mexico. In the end, we won and forced Mexico
to sell us, for very little money, what is now California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and
most of New Mexico. Through it all, Congress was arguing about whether we should
be at war in the first place and, if we won, which territories would be slave states. . . .
No wonder Polk was so tired.
WAIT! ISN’T ENGLAND OUR FRIEND? These days, England is one of our best
friends. But in George Washington’s day, Americans were forced to obey
King George III of England. We fought the Revolutionary War so we would be
free to make our own laws and rules.
STATES? COLONIES? WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? The colonies were ruled by
British law. Once the colonies formed their own governments after the
Revolutionary War, they became states.
I’LL NEVER DO THAT AGAIN. When James Polk ran for president, he said he
would not run for re-election. And he kept his word. He is also known for
keeping all his other campaign promises. I wonder what it would be like if
every president were in office for just one term.
ARE YOU IRISH? While President Polk was in office, many people in Ireland
were starving to death during what’s called the Irish Potato Famine. As a
result, hundreds of thousands of Irish immigrants came to America.
A new political group, which came to be called the Know-Nothing Party,
was started by people who thought America was letting too many Irish
people come here.
PARTY: Democratic
NICKNAME: “Young Hickory” (He had worked
for—and learned a lot from—“Old Hickory,”
Andrew Jackson.)
WIFE: Sarah Childress Polk
WARD: Marshall, Polk’s nephew
PETS: He had no official pets!
STANDING UP FOR DAD. James Polk’s first case as a lawyer was to defend his
father, who was accused of fighting in public. He got Dad off with a $1 fine.
LIGHTEN UP! Gaslights were first put in the White House while Polk was
president. Before that, they only had candles and oil lamps.
15
W
hen people ask me who my favorite president is, I usually say ABRAHAM LINCOLN. But it’s
hard to choose just one. However, I can say that my favorite presidential quotation is the one on the
next page. President Lincoln said it in his first inaugural address. It means he believed that keeping the United
States united is more important than any one issue. The sentence has words like mystic and angels, which
you might expect to hear in a religious sermon. But Lincoln’s words aren’t about any particular religion. He is
simply saying he has faith that no matter how much we might believe different things, we are still united by
the memory of all the people who have died so we could be free.
If you ask people who Lincoln was, most will tell you he’s the president who fought the Civil War to free
the slaves. The truth is a little more complicated. As soon as he was elected, seven states left the United
States to form their own “confederacy” (and four more soon joined them). Their main reason was they
wanted to keep slavery legal.
So, yes, Lincoln was against slavery, but for him, fighting the Civil War was just as much about keeping the country together. He succeeded, but at a high cost. Perhaps as many as 750,000 soldiers died—as
many as died in all the other wars Americans have fought, combined. Yes, that includes World War II and
the Vietnam War. Even though the slaves were freed, many African Americans and other minorities are still
treated differently and given fewer opportunities to succeed at school and at work. That’s called racism.
And the Civil War won’t really be over until we end racism once and for all.
The Civil War ended on April 9, 1865. Five days later, the president was assassinated.
Lincoln’s life is an amazing story. I hope someday you take the time to learn as much about him as you can,
because his life and his words tell us so much about what makes this country special.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN 16
“The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart
and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched,
as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.”
Official portrait by George P. A. Healy
PRESIDENT: March 4, 1861–April 15, 1865
272 FAMOUS WORDS. Lincoln gave a speech in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, on
November 19, 1863, after the most deadly battle in the Civil War. More than
50,000 soldiers were reported as casualties (dead, wounded, missing, or
captured). In just 272 words, he reminded people again that we’re one United
States. Believe it or not, I made a whole film just on that speech. And I’ve
created a website where people recite it, including presidents, movie stars,
and other famous people. If you film yourself reciting it, you can be on there,
too. Go to learntheaddress.org.
BORN: February 12, 1809
WHERE: Hodgenville, Kentucky
DIED: April 15, 1865 (age 56)
SISTERS: Sarah, and two stepsisters, Elizabeth
and Matilda
BROTHER: Thomas, who died in infancy
OCCUPATIONS: postmaster, lawyer, farmer, politician
1,754 MORE FAMOUS WORDS. The most important document Lincoln ever
wrote was the Emancipation Proclamation. Emancipation means “freedom.”
A proclamation is an important announcement. It says there should no
longer be any slavery in the United States. It wasn’t a law yet, but the
president wrote it to make his opinion perfectly clear.
A TRAGIC FIRST. Four presidents have been assassinated, but Lincoln was the
first. The word assassination is often used for murder when a famous person
is killed, usually because of what they have said or done. John Wilkes Booth
assassinated Lincoln because he was so upset that the president had ended
slavery and even wanted to give some African Americans the right to vote.
TRUE FACTS. Lincoln really was born in a log cabin with a dirt floor. He really
did teach himself to be a lawyer, even though he only went to school for one
year. And he really did keep important papers under his high stovepipe hat.
I
t takes a lot of energy to be president. Theodore ROoSEVELT had enough energy for ten presidents! He hiked in the wilderness and swam in icy rivers. He rode horses for hours at a time, went exploring
and hunting, read two or three books a day, and wrote more than thirty-five books and about 150,000 letters.
Elected vice president in 1896, Roosevelt became president when William McKinley was assassinated. Until
then, he was best known for leading a band of soldiers called the Rough Riders during the Spanish-American
War. Now he was about to lead the entire country into the twentieth century.
Nearly eighty years before Roosevelt became president, James Monroe said that we would protect any
country in North or South America from being taken over by any country in Europe. Theodore Roosevelt took
that idea one step further. He said that if the leaders of any country in the Americas weren’t treating their
people well, we could help put other leaders in their place. That’s not always such a good idea. Can you imagine
another country deciding who should be our president? Sometimes America has used that as an excuse to
get something we want. Have you heard of the Panama Canal, which gives boats a shortcut from the Atlantic
Ocean to the Pacific? In order to make it happen, Roosevelt promoted a revolution in Panama, which was
then a province of Colombia, because we—and many Panamanians—wanted that canal built. Panama became a
separate country, where we had a lot of influence.
Here in America, Roosevelt had a big plan called the Square Deal. He wanted to make sure that food and drugs
were safer, that the places where people worked were less dangerous, and that companies charged fair prices.
Roosevelt has been called the “Conservationist President” because he created the U.S. Forest Service. He
also added land to the National Park System. By doing these things, he kept millions of acres wild, so no one
can build there (and we can take trips there!).
I know that sounds like a lot . . . but that was just a little of what Theodore Roosevelt did. By the way, his
favorite expression was “Bully!” To him, it didn’t mean someone who pushed you around; it meant “Remarkable!”
or “Awesome!” He was definitely one of our most remarkable presidents.
VICE PRESIDENTS: Hannibal Hamlin, Andrew Johnson
PARTY: Republican
NICKNAME: “Honest Abe”
WIFE: Mary Todd Lincoln
WHAT’S AN AMENDMENT? The people who wrote the Constitution couldn’t think of
everything! But they did think of a really good way to add to it if necessary. It’s called an
amendment. It’s not easy to pass one. At least two-thirds of the people in Congress and
the majority of people in three-quarters of the states have to agree. (Okay, it’s a little
more complicated, but that’s the basic idea.) Sometimes an amendment doesn’t just add
something; it takes an ideal that most Americans hold and makes it more specific—
especially when it comes to protecting our freedoms. For example, the Declaration of
Independence says, “All men are created equal.” But even back then, the Founding Fathers
argued about whether “men” meant all men (not just white men), and they clearly didn’t
include women. After the Civil War, the Thirteenth Amendment made it a little clearer by
abolishing (ending) slavery. But it took four more years and two more amendments before
African American men had all the rights of white men. (Yes, it was still men only.)

YOU CAN’T STOP ME! Since Roosevelt had served most of President McKinley’s
term and one of his own, he decided not to run again in 1908. But by 1912, he
had changed his mind. One evening during the 1912 campaign, he was giving a
speech in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and a man just seven feet away shot him in
the chest. Fortunately, the bullet was slowed down by the fifty-page speech
and eyeglass case in his pocket. He was bleeding badly, but that couldn’t stop
him. He continued speaking for almost an hour and a half!
OCCUPATIONS: rancher, soldier, politician
VICE PRESIDENTS: none in his first term,
Charles Fairbanks (in his second term)
PARTY: Republican
NICKNAMES: “TR,” “Teddy”
WIVES: Alice Lee Roosevelt, Edith Carow Roosevelt
DAUGHTERS: Alice (“Princess Alice”), from his first
marriage, and Ethel
SONS: Theodore Jr. (“Ted”), Kermit, Archibald
(“Archie”), Quentin
PONY EXPRESS? Roosevelt’s children loved playing pranks. Once they even
brought a pony into the White House and gave it a ride in the elevator.
SADDEST DAY OF HIS LIFE. On Valentine’s Day 1884, when Theodore Roosevelt
was just twenty-five years old, his mother and his wife both died within hours
of each other in the same house. He was so depressed he went out west to work
at a ranch and go horseback riding. He called depression “the black care,” and
said that the “black care rarely sits behind a rider whose pace is fast enough.”
PETS: a menagerie of animals that included horses
and ponies, dogs, cats, birds, five bears, a badger,
a flying squirrel, a lion, a hyena, a zebra, a raccoon,
a pig, and Alice’s pet snake, Emily Spinach

Freshmen Year
I DON’T KNOW A LOT of things. I don’t know why I didn’t
hear the door click shut. Why I didn’t lock the damn door
to begin with. Or why it didn’t register that something was
wrong—so mercilessly wrong—when I felt the mattress shift
under his weight. Why I didn’t scream when I opened my eyes
and saw him crawling between my sheets. Or why I didn’t try
to fight him when I still stood a chance.
I don’t know how long I lay there afterward, telling myself:
Squeeze your eyelids shut, try, just try to forget. Try to ignore all
the things that didn’t feel right, all the things that felt like they
would never feel right again. Ignore the taste in your mouth,

the sticky dampness of the sheets, the fire radiating through
your thighs, the nauseating pain—this bulletlike thing that
ripped through you and got lodged in your gut somehow. No,
can’t cry. Because there’s nothing to cry about. Because it was
just a dream, a bad dream—a nightmare. Not real. Not real.
Not real. That’s what I keep thinking: NotRealNotRealNotReal.
Repeat, repeat, repeat. Like a mantra. Like a prayer.
I don’t know that these images flashing through my mind—a
movie of someone else, somewhere else—will never really
go away, will never ever stop playing, will never stop haunting
me. I close my eyes again, but it’s all I can see, all I can feel,
all I can hear: his skin, his arms, his legs, his hands too strong,
his breath on me, muscles stretching, bones cracking, body
breaking, me getting weaker, fading. These things—it’s all
there is.
But this was supposed to
be an ordinary Sunday.
I don’t know how many hours pass
before I awake to the usual Sunday
morning clamor—pots and pans
clanging against the stove. Food
smells seeping under my door—bacon,
pancakes, Mom’s coffee. TV sounds—
cold fronts and storm systems moving
through the area by midday—Dad’s
weather channel. Dishwasher-running
sounds. Yippy yappy dog across the
street yips and yaps at probably
nothing, as always. And then there’s
the almost imperceptible rhythm of a
basketball bouncing against the dewy
blacktop and the squeaky-sneaker
shuffling of feet in the driveway.
Our stupid, sleepy suburbia, like
every other stupid, sleepy suburbia,
awakens groggy, indifferent to its
own inconsequence, collectively
wishing for one more Saturday and
dreading chores and church and to-do
lists and Monday morning. Life just
goes, just happens, continuing as
always. Normal. And I can’t shake the
knowledge that life will just keep on
happening, regardless if I wake up or
not. Obscenely normal.
actually happened. And this pain in
the center of my body, the depths of
my insides, restarts its torture as if on
cue. I throw the covers off. Kneecapshaped bruises line my arms, my hips,
my thighs. And the blood—on the
sheets, the comforter, my legs.
But this was supposed to be an
ordinary Sunday.
I was supposed to get up, get dressed,
and sit down to breakfast with my
family. Then after breakfast, I would
promptly go to my bedroom and finish
any homework I hadn’t finished Friday
night, sure to pay special attention to
geometry. I would practice that new
song we learned in band, call my best
friend, Mara, maybe go to her house
later, and do dozens of other stupid,
meaningless tasks.

But that’s not what’s going to happen
today, I know, as I sit in my bed,
staring at my stained skin in disbelief,
my hand shaking as I press it against
my mouth.
Two knocks on my bedroom door. I jump.
I don’t know, as I force my eyes open, that the lies are already in motion. I try
to swallow. But my throat’s raw. Feels like strep, I tell myself. I must be sick,
that’s all. Must have a fever. I’m delirious. Not thinking clearly. I touch my
lips. They sting. And my tongue tastes blood. But no, it couldn’t have been.
Not real. So as I stare at the ceiling, I’m thinking: I must have serious issues
if I’m dreaming stuff like that. Horrible stuff like that. About Kevin. Kevin.
Because Kevin is my brother’s best friend, practically my brother. My parents
love him like everyone does, even me, and Kevin would never—could never.
Not possible. But then I try to move my legs to stand. They’re so sore—no,
broken feeling. And my jaw aches like a mouthful of cavities.
I close my eyes again. Take a deep breath. Reach down and touch my body.
No underwear. I sit up too fast and my bones wail like I’m an old person.
I’m scared to look. But there they are: my days-of-the-week underwear in
a ball on the floor. They were my Tuesdays, even though it was Saturday,
because, well, who would ever know anyway? That’s what I was thinking
when I put them on yesterday. And now I know, for sure, it happened. It
“Edy, you up?” My mother’s voice shouts. I open my mouth, but it feels like
someone poured hydrochloric acid down my throat and I might never be able
to speak again. Knock, knock, knock:
“Eden, breakfast!” I quickly pull my nightgown down as far as it will go, but
there’s blood smeared on that, too.
“Mom?” I finally call back, my voice scratchy and horrible.
She cracks the door open. As she peers in her eyes immediately go to the
blood. “Oh God,” she gasps, as she slips inside and quickly shuts the door
behind her.
“Mom, I—” But how am I supposed say the words, the worst words, the ones
I know have to be spoken?
141
“Oh, Edy.” She sighs, turning her head at me with a sad smile. “It’s okay.”
“Wh—,” I start to say. How can it be okay, in what world is this okay?
“This happens sometimes when you’re not expecting it.” She flits around my
room, tidying up, barely looking at me while she explains about periods and
calendars and counting the days. “It happens to everyone. That’s why I told
you, you need to keep track. That way you won’t have to deal with these . . .
surprises. You can be . . . prepared.”
This is what she thinks this is.
Now, I’ve seen enough TV movies to know you’re supposed to tell. You’re just
supposed to f**king tell.
“But—”
“Why don’t you hop in the shower, sweetie?” she interrupts. “I’ll take care of
this . . . uh . . .” she begins, gesturing with her arm in a wide circle over my bed,
searching for the word, “this mess.”
This mess. Oh God, it’s now or never. Now or never. It’s now. “Mom—” I try again.
“Don’t be embarrassed,” she says with a laugh. “It’s fine, really, I promise.” She
stands over me, looking taller than she ever has before, handing me my robe,
oblivious of my Tuesday underwear crumpled at her feet.
“Mom, Kevin—,” I start, but his name in my mouth makes me want to throw up.
“Don’t worry, Edy. He’s out back with your brother. They’re playing basketball.
And your father’s glued to the TV, as usual. Nobody’ll see you. Go ahead. Put
this on.”
Looking up at her, I feel so small. And Kevin’s voice moves like a tornado
through my mind, whispering—his breath on my face—No one will ever
believe you. You know that. No one. Not ever.
Then my mom shakes the robe at me, offering me a lie I didn’t even need
to think up. She starts getting that look in her eye—that impatient, it’s-theholidays-and-I-don’t-have-time-for this look. Clearly, it was time for me to get
going so she could deal with this mess. And clearly, nobody was going to
hear me.
Nobody was going to see me—he knew that. He had been around long enough
to know how things work here.
I try to stand without looking like everything is broken. I kick the Tuesdays
under the bed so she won’t find them and wonder. I take my robe. Take the
lie. And as I look back at my mother, watching her collect the soiled sheets in
her arms—the evidence—I know somehow if it’s not now, it has to be never.
Because he was right, no one would ever believe me. Of course they wouldn’t.
Not ever.

INTERVIEW WITH AMBER SMITH
element of time to show just how deep and lasting the wounds of violence
can be. By dividing the book into four years, I wanted the reader to be
able to see the person Eden was before she was raped, in order to better
understand how and why she evolves into the person she becomes by the
end of the book. In reality, recovery from trauma and violation is a long and
complicated journey; I wanted to show what this process can sometimes
look like when, as we see in Eden’s case, the person doesn’t have the
support they need. What I hoped to reveal along the way is how difficult it
can be to stand up to abuse, why speaking out is not always as simple or
easy as some might assume.
In your debut novel, The Way I Used to Be, Eden is raped by
her brother’s best friend in her own home. She struggles to find
herself after the horrific attack. What advice would you offer
teens experiencing a difficult time in their lives?
First, I would also want them to know that they’re not alone—whether
that difficult time has to do with sexual assault or another form of
abuse or trauma, like bullying, depression, addiction, loss, grief, any
kind of emotional crisis—these are all situations that tend to make
us feel extremely isolated. But the thing we often don’t realize is that
there are other people who have gone through, and are going through,
similar experiences. Therefore, we’re not really as isolated or alone in
our struggles as we sometimes feel. Second, in any of those scenarios,
I would strongly encourage them to find help—physically, mentally, and
emotionally—both in the short term and the long term. That might involve
asking a trusted friend, family member, teacher, doctor, or the even the
authorities for support and assistance. And if none of these feel like an
option, there are lots of other resources available—there are always
people who are willing to listen and help. There are so many crisis centers
and hotlines available across the country, ready and waiting to provide
round the clock, free, and confidential support to people going through
these exact situations.
It’s hard to believe this is the first book you’ve ever written. Did you
always want to be a writer? What inspired you to write this book?
Thank you! And yes, I wanted to be a writer ever since I was a little kid—I’ve
had a lifelong love of storytelling in all its forms. I had wanted to write about
abuse and sexual violence for a long time, as these issues have always
been close to my heart. When I began writing this book, it was a way of
simply trying to work through my own thoughts and emotions surrounding
this topic, to take my feelings of frustration, confusion, anger, and fear, and
turn them into something constructive. Sexual violence is a lived reality for
so many young people, yet there’s still so much silence surrounding this
issue. From the perspective of my main character, Eden, I saw a chance to
truly explore what that silence means and feels like, and ultimately, what it
might take to break that silence.
Tell us about the cover of the book. How does it represent
Eden’s story?
What was your writing process? Did you speak with rape victims
or counselors to help you craft the characters in the book?
The cover! I couldn’t have hoped for a more gorgeous or appropriate image
to represent Eden’s story. (And I had nothing to do with it at all...so I feel
like I can unabashedly gush over it!)
I didn’t necessarily do much research in the traditional sense; it was mainly
anecdotal in nature. For me, the core of the story is Eden’s emotional journey,
and for that I really looked inward, reflecting on my own experiences, as well
as those of people in my life who have also been affected by trauma or
abuse.
There’s a dandelion reference in the book that marks an important turning
point for Eden, a moment when she’s deciding who she will become. Like
the dandelion on the cover, Eden’s world “explodes” after she’s raped,
and she has to figure out how to keep going, how to put the pieces back
together. I see her evolution as being parallel to the life cycle of the
dandelion, as it goes through its stages of growth and transition. Although
there comes a point in Eden’s journey when she feels as though she’s
stuck, “in between” phases, and she needs to choose whether she will
stay stuck or move forward. I love that the front cover shows those two
vibrant, yellow dandelions in their prime, while the back cover shows the
bare stem of the dandelion, still and quiet, in its final stage. In the same
way, I feel like Eden’s journey comes full circle through the course of the
book, ultimately finding her way back to herself and to her truth. So, to
me, the two dandelions on the front represent the person she used to
be, and the person she becomes by the end of the book, the past and the
present intertwined, strengthening one another, ready to start anew, to
explode, not in destruction this time, but into full bloom. The cover is a
great reminder of the amazing resilience of the dandelion—it might get
cut down but it’s just going to come back up again—it’s strong, tough, and
in my opinion, beautiful, just like Eden.
Teens and adults alike can learn so much from Eden’s story. What
do you hope readers will gain from reading The Way I Used to Be?
I hope that readers—teens and adults—come away with some new
thoughts about what it means to be a survivor, and the importance of having
compassion, both for others and for ourselves. You can never really be sure
what another person might be going through, whether that’s a friend, a
classmate, a sibling, or even your own child, sometimes. That’s why it’s so
important to have empathy, to be kind, and to reach out if you think someone
in your life might need help. And, perhaps, most of all, I hope this book
says something about self-worth: the importance of finding your voice and
speaking your truth, standing up to abuse in all its forms.
Do you have plans to write another young adult book?
Yes, I do! I have another contemporary YA in the works (tentatively slated for
publication in the summer of 2017). This one deals with domestic violence,
telling the story of three siblings as they cope with the death of their abusive
father at the hands of their mother.
Why did you choose to tell Eden’s story in four parts—her
freshman through senior year of high school?
I wanted the story to encompass all four years of high school, to use the

CHAPTER 11
“Just because someone’s brain doesn’t match their body,
it doesn’t mean they’re a freak or a bad person!
In fact, I think it means just the opposite.
To me, kids like us are unique and special.”
Winning the right to use the school bathrooms was a big
deal, and toward the end of fifth grade something even more
monumental happened—I became the youngest person
to win the Youth Courage Award from the Colin Higgins
Foundation!
Colin Higgins was this awesome writer and director who
did some of the best classic movies from the seventies
146
and eighties, like Harold and Maude and 9 to 5. Before he
tragically died from an AIDS-related illness in 1988, he
set up a foundation to award grants to all kinds of LGBTQ
organizations. The Youth Award goes to three different kids
each year who, in the foundation’s words, are “remarkable
young people who refuse to be silenced by societal norms
and demonstrate profound courage in the face of hardship,
intolerance and bigotry based on sexual orientation, gender
identity and national origin.”
Whoa. I felt like all I was doing was living my normal life! I
knew speaking on panels and doing interviews was helping
people, but I never expected to get rewarded for it. I just liked
the idea of spreading a positive message. Thanks to the love
and support of my family, I knew how relatively easy my life
had been compared to other transgender kids.
Thanks to the love and support of my family,
I knew how relatively easy my life

It was such a huge honor, and I was
completely blown away by being
chosen out of hundreds of people
under consideration. The award was
being given out in New York City at
the TrevorLIVE fundraiser. The Trevor
Project is a suicide prevention hotline
for LGBTQ youth, and you can check
out more about all the good stuff they
do in the Resources section at the
back of this book.
I was super comfortable in front of a
crowd by this point, but I also knew
that this experience was going to be
different. I had to give a speech in
front of about a thousand people. I
spent over a week working with my
parents, writing and rewriting it until
I thought it was good enough, and
then suddenly it was time to fly to
New York. The event organizers put
me through an hour of speech training,
and I practiced in front of the mirror

stereotype that physical appearances

I was getting so flustered that I almost
didn’t think I could give my speech.
Meeting some celebrities—like
Debra Messing, Stanley Tucci, and
the band fun.—was a nice distraction,
but they all seemed like ordinary
people I might meet anywhere, so I
didn’t get starstruck or anything.
When it was finally time to give my
speech, they had to put a little crate
behind the podium because I was too
short to reach the microphone.
As soon as I started talking up there,
all my nervousness disappeared. I
felt calm and strong, as if I’d been
doing that sort of thing my whole
life. Speaking out felt like what I
was meant to do. Before that night,
all my advocacy work had been done
