'Thoughtful, beautiful, incredibly necessary. People need to read this book, especially if they feel a resistance to. I wish everyone would.' Sofie Hagen

'An intimate, beautifully told memoir' Elinor Cleghorn
When my third child was born, I was told I had a boy. The baby was given a boy's name and raised in that gender. But when she died, twenty years later, she died as my daughter, and will forever be remembered that way.
Alice Litman died by suicide in May 2022, aged just twenty years old, having already waited almost three years for her first appointment at a gender identity clinic.
In stunningly beautiful prose, Caroline Litman captures the realities of an often-messy journey navigating both her daughter's transition and the days, weeks and months after Alice's death.
Searing, urgent and utterly unique, Her Name is Alice is the raw, human story of a mother's love and grief for her child - and of a young trans woman who is impossible to forget and who must be remembered.
In this top-rated autobiography, Litman explores the complexities of family relationships, the struggle for identity, and the profound grief of losing a child. It is a compelling narrative that offers a unique perspective on LGBTQ+ issues, bereavement, and activism.
