Put a dress on a boy and see how he reacts as his hair is done and his face is made-up.
If he smiles... maybe. If a sigh follows the smile, you'll know that Surrender Time is nigh.
Happens every time.
My-oh-my; there certainly  are many of us, perhaps more than we think.

Now that would be a most interesting family tradition, and though the protagonist is reluctant at first, he not only accepts the idea, but also becomes what he may well have been ever since being born.  It illustrates also that true love can be found in unexpected places, you just have to be willing to go that extra step sometimes.  Once more a great read, and a moving storyline. ^_^

AS I SAID,  I LIKE  IT WHEN YOU WRITE STORIES LIKE THIS IT IS TENDER AND KIND. THIS SHOWS THAT SOMETIMES A BOY IS REALLY A GIRL INSIDE. I WISH THAT HAPPENED TO ME AND I DID NOT HAVE TO LIVE THE LIE OF MY BODY AS A MAN, BUT NOW I AM TOO OLD TO DO ANYTHING I AM 54, AND I WILL SUFFER TILL I DIE WITH THE BODY OF A MAN AND THE MIND OF A LADY AND OVER COMPENSATING TO STAY THIS FARCE. I WISH I HAD THIS TRADITION IN MY FAMILY BUT MY SISTER MARRIED SOMEONE WHO ENSLAVED HER AND DESTROYED OUR FAMILY. THAT IS ALL ABOUT THAT. IF YOU WANT MORE DETAILS E-MAIL ME. I ALREADY WROTE STORY ABOUT WHAT THEY DID TO ME AND WHAT SHOULD OF HAPPENED, BUT I ONLY LIKE YOUR STORIES THAT ARE KIND EVEN THOUGH THE BOY GETS ROPED INTO IT AND NO BOY WOULD REALLY DO IT UNLESS THEY WANTED TO BE A GIRL.

Janet, wonderful story of a family tradition, a  boy becoming a girl and hi finding true love. I believe the only way for you to write such sweet stories is if you have some basis in reality. Keep your dreams alive Janet. You have a friend in me

The first story by Janet that I read and I adored it!
I loved the way that Greg, the somewhat reluctant girl, experiences life as a girl and blossoms into a young woman, Carolyn. This is beautifully shown were Carolyn dresses for dinner, putting on her new dress and sexy underwear and her make up, wanting to look as feminine as she can, Carolyn has become a woman almost without realising.
I especially liked the romance with Jeff, I am so glad they get it together and get married, (I love a happy ending!)It sums up beautifully the central characters journey, from man to woman, even becoming a wife herself.
My only (small) criticism is that the romance between Carolyn and Jeff could be developed, it jumps from kissing on the 1st date to the bedroom scene after the wedding. I would also love to know mare about the bridal showers Caorolyn attends and are briefly mentioned.
On the whole though, a lovely story I really enjoyed

Janet tells here of the family tradition of having a family member serve as the Maid of Honor at the family member.

Carolyn is born out of this and the story allows for her to live as a girl for 3 months to get used to the role for the wedding.

Now all of us know what would happen if in real life that should happen. It's like a total loss to the femininity of oneself. And Janet again makes the dreams a reality for this new girl.

Always it's a pleasure to read one of Janets stories and when I'm feeling a little depressed I can always find some comfort in her works.

Thank you Janet.
