Synopsis: Throughout her childhood in suburban Ohio, Noelle struggled to gain love and affection from her distant father. In compensating for her fathers brusqueness, Noelle idolized her nurturing tomboy mother and her conservative grandma who tried to turn her into a little lady. At age fourteen, Noelles mom told her the family secret: Dad likes to wear womens clothes. As Noelle copes with a turbulent adolescence, her father begins to metamorphose into the loving parent she had always longed foronly now outfitted in pedal pushers and pink lipstick.
