Description: A boldly drawn unforgettable memoir about trauma and the barriers to gender affirming health care In the winter of 2004, a shy woman named Emma sits in Toby's office. She wants to share this wonderful new book she's reading but Toby her therapist is concerned with other things. Emma is transgender and has sought out Toby for approval for hormone replacement therapy. Emma has shown up at the therapy sessions as an outgoing confident young woman named Katina and a depressed submissive workaholic named Ed. She has little or no memory of her actions when presenting as these other two people. And then Toby asks about her childhood As the story unfolds we discover clues to Emma's troubled past and how and why these other two people may have come into existence. As Toby juggles treating three separate people each with their own unique personalities and memories he begins to wonder if Emma is merely acting out to get attention or if she actually has Dissociative Identity Disorder. Is she just a troubled woman in need of help? And is the third person in her brain protecting her or derailing her chances of ever finding peace? The Third Person is a riveting memoir from newcomer Emma Grove. Drawn in thick emotive lines with the refined style of a comics vet Grove has created a singular gripping depiction of the intersection of identities and trauma. The Third Person is a testament to the importance of having the space to heal and live authentically.
