About: Second Son

Second Son: "I took a step back and looped around the other men and walked over by my dad. He looked down toward me and patted my shoulder. My dad’s gesture made me feel that grandma’s death reincarnated my birth into the family. This time I didn’t come out as their daughter, but as their second son." —Ryan Sallans
