520    Trans woman Precious Brady-Davis recalls her childhood 
       growing up in the Omaha foster care system and Pentecostal
       faith as a biracial, gender-nonconforming child. 
520    Born into traumatic circumstances, Brady-Davis was brought
       up in the Omaha foster care system and the Pentecostal 
       faith. As a biracial, gender-nonconforming kid, she felt 
       displaced, but has come to realize that she had a purpose 
       all along. Here Brady-Davis reflects on a childhood of 
       neglect, instability, and abandonment. She reveals her 
       determination to dream through it and shares her profound 
       journey as a trans woman now fully actualized, absolutely 
       confident, and precious. In relating her sojourn as a song
       of self-reliance and pride, she offers an invitation to 
       join in the chorus. -- adapted from jacket
