Summary "A moving collection of six short stories that explores what must be stripped away to find the truth and celebrates the beauty of embracing who you are. ["To Strip the Flesh" summary]: Chiaki Ogawa has never doubted who he is, although the rest of the world hasn't been as kind. Bound by his mother's dying wish, Chiaki tries to be a good daughter to his ailing father. But when the burden becomes too great, Chiaki sets out to remake himself in his own image and discovers more than just personal freedom with his transition -- he finds understanding from the people who matter most." -- Page [4] of cover.
Additional stories: "I Just Love My Fave": Two people from different generations bond over the members of a pop music group. -- "David in Love": Marie is gifted a souvenir from her father's latest business trip: a small figure of David, the famous statue by Michelangelo. But this David is special...he comes alive at night while Marie is sleeping! -- "Hot Watermelon": Soichi has trouble talking to his mom...until he discovers a magic spell that will help him understand another person's feelings. Is this for real, or just a hoax?
