Her Name Is Alice

Alice Litman died by suicide in May 2022, aged just twenty years old, having already waited almost three years for her first appointment at a gender identity clinic. In stunningly beautiful prose, Caroline Litman captures the realities of an often-messy journey navigating both her daughter's transition and the days, weeks and months after Alice's death. Searing, urgent and utterly unique, is the raw, human story of a mother's love and grief for her child—and of a young trans woman who is impossible to forget and who be remembered.
