And Yalie slowly but surely began to distance from her mother, from her family. And ultimately the California Department of Child and Family Services took Yalie away from her family and started her on testosterone.
And Abby, her mother, was understandably distraught, was trying to see her daughter and was struggling with making contact with her daughter in a positive way because the girl was just very upset and confused. And ultimately, Yaeli threw herself in front of a train and ended her own life and died. I included this story in the book. It's very sad and it's emotional.

And I think it'll be a deeply impactful story for people to read. It was very impactful for me to write.
