This is the journal of Stuart Fairchild, about to leave on his first-ever road trip. What happens on the road to this talented guitarist leads to other roads, as a musician, as an artist and and a model … and as a female.
In Part One, Stu is playing with a band on the road for the first time. Everything’s going great until he’s mistakenly identified as “Sue”, planting the idea in the band manager’s mind. He announces that for the next road trip, “Suzie Fairchild” will pretend to be the girl guitarist! But first, Stuart must learn to act like Suzie, and discovers that being female isn’t an act—it’s truth. As she prepares for the next road trip, she also finds she’s heading off in a new direction, working with a world-famous photographer.
Part Two follows the band on the first half of an extended road trip through the Midwest. While “Suzie Fairchild” was an act created by the band’s manager, Suzie now knows that it’s real and she is transgender. Now she must learn to deal with being “the chick in the band”—and what it means to be a female in everyday life. Amazingly, she finds new friends and new opportunities and an ever-more uncertain future—but she knows that her future will be as a female!
In Part Three, Suzie and the band’s road trip concludes with a return through some of the towns and clubs they’ve already worked. It should be an easy, happy trip, but Suzie’s truth—that she is truly female, now and forever—affects the band’s internal dynamics. As her confidence as a female grows, she is suddenly confronted with the danger and vulnerability that women face. And there’s another danger that only Suzy faces: being outed in the media as a fake. Friends and lovers and several possible futures await her … but where does her heart lie?
Part Four continues the next few years in the life of Suzie Fairchild, formerly Stuart Fairchild—guitar goddess, international model, author … and daughter. Now off the road, Suzie learns about her family, friends, and love. As a musician, she tours internationally and plays with some of the biggest musicians in the world, yet is it enough for her? With all that she’s done, with all that she can do, what does she truly want to do?
