“You’re the only person I’ve told that more than anything in the world I want to write. You’re the only one I could feel sure wouldn’t laugh or argue with me about it. So you can think of this as my first book, written for your eyes only. I’ll send it to you as best I can once I get south of the border.

Thanks for always being there for me. I miss you like hell.”

It’s early December of 2016. Nineteen year old Paula is leaving home on a train trip around the US before she moves to Mexico. Her Utah Mormon parents won’t accept her as trans, and America’s future looks more bleak than ever. With only her elderly chihuahua Delilah for company, Paula begins writing a travel journal addressed to the best friend from school she’s leaving behind.

In a stream of consciousness exploring everything from the mundane to the intimate, this story invites the reader to see the world through someone else’s eyes.
