 Based on a true story. As a young boy, Eddie Araujo always felt different somehow. She started putting on her mom s makeup and wearing her mom s clothes, which her mom found odd. By the time she entered her teen years, Eddie could no longer hide the fact that she was a lot different, that she was meant to be female and not male. When she finally accepted it and with her mom s eventual support, Eddie changed her name to Gwen and started to live life as female until a tragic night changed everything.
