This was an absolutely love read about the amazing and brace Marsha. I feel like she hasn't really gotten the flowers she deserves in terms of her contributions to the LGBTQA+ community, so seeing this book, which has some wider audience appeal, is amazing!

This is a well researched homage to the amazing Marsha Johnson.
So much can be learned about resilience by viewing her life. She used her voice and day to day experiences to find not only a purpose but to make a murky situation into one that she could fine tune and make better. One she could use and sculpt to make life for those scorned and unwanted better.
From Stonewall to her untimely death, Marsha was activist, supporter, fighter, organizer and stage performer, she would use the stage as a platform and her voice still resonates today.
Marsha not only left a legacy but perhaps unbeknownst to us, she laid the ground work, paved the path and passed a torch to us. Her force was endless, boundless. What we have learned, what we know and what we fight for today is Marsha’s gift to us.
Thank you NetGalley, the publisher and author for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
