Becoming Jennifer Series (8 Book Series)
Not Yet Jennifer (Book 1)
Some summers change you quietly, before you ever have the words.
Thirteen-year-old Jamie Grant is caught in between worlds. It is the summer before high school in Kansas City, Kansas, a season of heat, waiting, and becoming. To everyone else, Jamie is still a boy, following rules, keeping his head down, surviving the expectations placed on him. But inside, she knows her truth. Her real name, Jennifer, lives only in the pages of a new diary, written in careful strokes, hidden from a world that is not yet ready to see her.
This is a coming-of-age summer shaped by longing and loss. Jamie’s first love, Jeremy, is gone without warning, leaving behind grief, unanswered questions, and the memory of a kiss she carries like a secret treasure. At home, her father’s harsh control and her mother’s silence leave no room for gender identity or self-discovery. Jamie learns to survive by shrinking, by performing the role expected of her, even as gender dysphoria tugs at her sense of self.
Yet in the quiet moments, something stirs.
Across long days and humid nights, Jamie claims small, dangerous freedoms. A borrowed scarf. A soft reflection in the mirror. A whispered wish under the stars. New faces appear, potential friends, a counselor whose kindness offers a flicker of hope, but Jennifer remains hidden, waiting for the right moment to exist.​​​​​​​
Not Yet Jennifer is an emotional Young Adult LGBTQ summer story about first love, grief, and the struggles of growing up unseen. It is a transgender story of patience and resilience, of learning who you are before the world lets you say it out loud. Tender, intimate, and deeply human, this novel is for anyone who has ever had to wait to become themselves, believing that someday, soon, their truth will finally be allowed to shine.
Becoming Jennifer (Book 2)
Not Yet Jennifer was the summer of waiting, of hope and heartbreak pressed between diary pages, where Jamie Grant hid her true self. Now, in Becoming Jennifer, the world is changing, and Jennifer can’t stay invisible forever.
It’s the start of high school in late August 1994, Kansas. Jennifer (still Jamie to her family and the world) is battered by the weight of secrecy, family violence, and the ache of first loss.
She moves through the halls of Washington High School clutching fragments of hope, a scarf from her new friend, Cinnamon, a lifeline in a counselor’s quiet understanding, a shoebox of tokens and notes that say, “You are not alone.”
Becoming Jennifer follows her through crisis and aftermath, a desperate act, the hospital bed, the slow, fragile climb toward healing and self-acceptance. It’s a story of coming out, survival, and the daily heroism of trans girls who refuse to disappear. It’s about the pain of invisibility, the scars left by love and violence, and the lifelines that save us, a friend’s note, a sister’s promise, a name spoken in the dark.
Still Jennifer (Book 3)
Still Jennifer continues Jennifer Marie Grace's journey into the first summer where she no longer has to fight to be seen. The story opens with a warm family celebration in the backyard of her Kansas City home, where she sits on the porch swing beside her girlfriend, Cinnamon, surrounded by Polaroids, wildflowers, and lemonade. The world around her finally feels safe and full of possibility.
Through the long days of summer, Jennifer embraces everything she once dreamed of. She spends afternoons swimming with friends, goes shopping with her sister Michelle, and finds joy in the ordinary rituals that now belong fully to her life. Her relationship with Cinnamon deepens into an easy tenderness built on trust and laughter. Her family, once uncertain, has become her strongest foundation, with her mother and siblings celebrating her confidence and growth.
The book's heart lies in its quiet victories: the first summer spent comfortable in her body, the sound of her name spoken without hesitation, the discovery that happiness is not a reward but something she can live inside. Still Jennifer is not about becoming but about being. It captures the peace of a girl who has finally come home to herself, surrounded by love, music, and sunlight, learning that being "still" does not mean stopping, but finally belonging.

Humanity is caught in the slow collapse of coastlines, governments, and trust. In the middle of this unraveling world stands Malcolm Carter, a quiet mathematician who turns to equations the way others turn to prayer. While nations argue and seas rise, he begins work that might rewrite the future one variable at a time.
​
At his side, sometimes watching, sometimes guiding, is his daughter Elena. She grows up in a world of ash-darkened skies and half-finished theories, learning too young that brilliance can be both a gift and a burden.

Coming March 1st, 2026
Luke Harrison had a life built from truth. He woke before dawn beside the woman he loved, walked streets where the city breathed politics into his bones, and carved order out of chaos as one of the country’s most respected journalists. Georgetown was his heartbeat. His family was his north star. His world was set.

A lie is forged, fragile as a cracked shell, to protect the boy who cannot protect himself. When the pressure becomes unbearable, the Harrisons flee to Indiana, carrying the pieces of their shattered life into a quieter town where Luke must start again. School. Friends. Bullies. A new name. A second childhood he never asked for.
