Soon afterwards, Perfect's friends begin talk of womanhood, prompting Emma Jean to reveal the truth to Perfect. So begins an education for Perfect (rechristened Paul) on manhood while his small Arkansas town casts an unforgiving eye on its newest curiosity. Meanwhile, the Peace family is forced to question everything they thought they knew about gender, sexuality, unconditional love, and fulfillment.
