Lily and Dunkin by Donna Gephart is a powerful story about two remarkable young people. Lily Jo McGrother, born Timothy McGrother, is a girl who faces challenges in her eighth grade year due to her gender identity. Dunkin Dorfman, dealing with bipolar disorder, has recently moved from New Jersey and is hiding a painful secret. Their lives change forever when they meet on a summer morning. This heart-wrenching yet ultimately uplifting tale explores themes of identity, mental health, and the transformative power of friendship. With kindness, humor, bravery, and love, Lily Jo and Dunkin navigate their complex struggles and find a way to heal and move forward. This book is a worthwhile read for anyone looking for a story that sheds light on important issues while celebrating the resilience of the human spirit.
