I have to say, this book surprised me...but in a wonderful way. I love, love, LOVE how Dicey chose to tackle this often taboo, seldom talked about subject. She bravely took Zeek's story head on and I was thoroughly impressed with the outcome.Zeek's Loving Thorn is a story of struggle, pain, forgiveness, acceptance and faith.  I really sympathized with Zeek throughout this novella. Her struggle to be accepted as the person she is, flaws and all, is something I think every human can relate to. Her fear of being judged and rejected because of the body she was born into really tore at my heart. I think our author did a beautiful job broaching the subject of living and loving as an intersexed individual. She did it with compassion and understanding and with an open mind and heart.  There was no judgement or condemnation in her book and it made me wish the outside world would take note one day.As I stated before, I'm thoroughly impressed with this book and I praise Ms. Grenor for her strength and courage in writing it.  Zeek's story was very tastefully done and you could really feel the love emanating from the pages. Dicey is one if my favorite authors and it isn't just because girl can write a book!  It's because she writes stories that stop and make you think. She writes fearlessly and doesn't apologize for the subject matter.  I think it's beautiful...
