Mother Naked

by Cooper Renner

Overview

Nicole has known for a long time that, despite what his mother and grandmother tell him, he is not a girl. And he fears there is nothing he can do to prevent the planned surgery that will convert their lies into reality. But when his friend Jimmy, the son of a prominent government minister, discovers the truth and learns that Nicole secretly calls himself Nicholas, he spurs Nicholas to stand up to the most powerful women in the country. *Mother Naked* takes place on a parallel Earth where political power is entirely matriarchal, and Nicholas's mother, the President of the Republic of Texas, has no intention of seeing her only child denied his privileged heritage due to the accident of his gender.
