Reaching Home Unreachable Book 2 eBook Katie Leone
If you read my review of UNREACHABLE by Katie leone you know the story of Andrew, the boy who is troubled and about to wind up “in the system” in New York City. You learned along with his teacher, the narrator of the story, that he has a problem with trust that, as it turns out, comes from a childhood of abandonment and, ultimately from gender dysphoria. Though born biologically a boy, Andrew ‘s brain is female, making him female too. In the amazing story of his growth and acceptance you can see “Desiréd” blossom and become a whole child.REACHING HOME takes up where UNREACHABLE left off. Janice, the teacher is adopting Desirée . It is Christmas and Janice wants to take the girl home to Tennessee to meet her parents. It’s a different world down there, but her parents appear to be open to the little one as a girl. They make their faux pas, especially Janice’s father, and trust is not something Desiréd can give.. It take a crisis to bring the old man and little girl together just as Janice is considering going home to the city early.
Leone handles the concerns of the young girl with immense sensitivity. For the most part she delivers the parents’ concerns as well. It is, after all, the first time Desirée has been able to present as her true self day and night. It seems that the situation back in her elementary school is that she has to live as Andrew and only remove her cocoon at home. The visit involves meeting a boy whom Desirée likes and kisses and lots of sticky situations with Grandpa.
That is where I drew the line with this book. There is a sequence where the grandfather tells the little girl that seeing all the mangers made him realize that other grandchildren know their grandparents from birth and that perhaps he should give her a bath and put her in diapers. I cringed when I read this knowing that this was a typical sexual abuse scenario and that it was not only possible but likely that “Andrew” had experienced it. I was surprised at Leone for using such an extreme situation in a book full of references, as is usual with her books, to religion and Bible stories. It was just too extreme to accept. If my grandfather had said something like that, he would have been up on charges in no time.
In spite of this the rest of the book is sweet and thoughtful. I wondered how readers would take the love interest being a little boy and the fact that no one ever suggests to Desirée that she might prefer another girl, but that is down the road in this story and might not need to be addressed here.
This book will alternately make your guts tie up and warm your heart, but then so does the subject of transgender children. No one said it would be easy.. someday perhaps it will be.

Reaching Home Unreachable Book 2 eBook Katie Leone Reviews
It has a lot of good things about how someone deals with some of the demons in their life and more
Again Katie wrote a great story, I can't want for the third part now, as with all her books I read them over and over. They warm the heart
I became hooked on the story and characters after reading "Unreachable". This is a nice novella follow up to "Unreachable"; not nearly as complex and intricate, but a nice continuation and development of the characters, and it made me want to keep reading the series. Nice handling of a tough and complicated subject.
Katie Leone can write a story. I read this book on Christmas day 2014. It's a beautiful love story. I had tears in my eyes at the end. I will be looking for the next story.
Even my spouse, who seldom reads TG novels, loved this book. I, of course, was right at home with 'Reaching Home'. It is a light and breezy novel with a lot of meat to it. The second book of the 'Unreachable' series is a Christmas story that is well worth your time and money. Not that much money anyway.
Having enjoyed "Unreachable" by this author, I really found this story a bit slow and really repetitive. I did like the way the author presented the bonding and trust issues between the child's adopted grandfather, given that she was abused prior in her life, but otherwise found it slow and really not that interesting. Sorry to be a downer.
As a fan of Unreachable, I look forward to a continuation of this complex and heartwarming story. This touching Christmas sequel is a great insight into the relationship that has grown between teacher and student... Considering that Unreachable is a bit of an "epic" length wise, this qualifies more as a novella with an appropriate small price tag. If you enjoy heartwarming stories in this genre, this will not disappoint. It further defines the situation and leaves us anxious for part 3... Just a delightful read... as always, if you're looking for TG porn, shop elsewhere - Katie Leone maintains her high standards and high quality "human nature" stories that will tweak your heart.
