This New York Times bestseller tells the extraordinary true story of Nicole Maines—now known as television’s first transgender superhero on CW’s Supergirl—and the family who learned to embrace her authentic self with unwavering love.
When Wayne and Kelly Maines adopted identical twin boys, they never imagined the profound journey ahead. As toddler Wyatt insisted she was female, the family faced confusion, fear, and ultimately, transformation. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Amy Ellis Nutt spent nearly four years with the Maines family, crafting an intimate portrait of courage, acceptance, and the power of unconditional love.
Becoming Nicole is more than one family’s story—it’s a window into a changing America, told with remarkable honesty and empathy. Through Nicole’s journey and her family’s evolution, we witness the ripple effects of authenticity as they transform not just a household, but an entire community.
