In this
extraordinary debut novel by the author of the Lambda Literary
Award-winning story collection A Safe Girl to Love, Wendy
Reimer is a thirty-year-old trans woman who comes across evidence
that her late grandfather--a devout Mennonite farmer--might have been
transgender himself. At first she dismisses this revelation, having
other problems at hand, but as she and her friends struggle to cope
with the challenges of their increasingly volatile lives--from
alcoholism, to sex work, to suicide--Wendy is drawn to the lost
pieces of her grandfather's life, becoming determined to unravel the
mystery of his truth. Alternately warm-hearted and dark-spirited,
desperate and mirthful, Little Fish explores the winter of
discontent in the life of one transgender woman as her past and
future become irrevocably entwined.
