About this book

For Lew, figuring out he was a guy and wanted to live life as a guy was the end of our journey... and the start of a whole other journey. Escape From St. Hell charts all the changes that Lew wanted to be made in order for him to live as a young trans man -- changes not just to his own body and perspective, but to the perspectives of the family, friends, and enemies around him.

As he did in his bestselling graphic memoir Welcome to St. Hell, Lewis Hancox charts his journey with plenty of laughs, a good number of cringes, and an honesty that takes readers along for the ride of Lew's life.

Reviews

Praise for Welcome to St. Hell:

"Recommended for all teen (and college) collections -- and, sadly, one likely to draw significant attention in today's culture wars." --School Library Journal

"Earnest, sincere, and at times heart-wrenching, Hancox’s account of a youth spent knowing who he was but unable to express it is affecting." --Publishers Weekly

"Hancox describes the process of writing this book as therapeutic, and readers might find it so as well." --Kirkus Reviews
