This story has been around for a while but it is a delightful fresh read. It must have taken a lot of work to put this beautifully sensitive story together. I enjoyed it hugely.

A very good story, I enjoyed every minute.

A wondrous story,beautifully told with marvellous empathy and compassion,I believe that with a small amount of editing any women's
magazine could make it into a two episode short story that most women would love.Let's face it girls,your son could have the same problem.
Thank you so much and God bless you.ALISON

very good story full of support its amazing the help recieved from all well done

THE WOMEN IN LUKES LIFE IS A GREAT STORY I WISH WHEN I WAS THE AGE OF THAT FICTIONAL CHARACTER I HAD THE GUTS, I HAD A GREAT MOTHER BUT SHE WOULD NEVER OF UNDERSTAND IT. NOW IT IS TOO LATE FOR ME I AM 54 AND LOST EVERYTHING IN MY LIFE. I WISH I COULD FIND A LADY THAT WOULD UNDERSTAND. A LADY BY THE WAY DOES NOT SMOKE, DRINK, USE DRUGS OR CHEW GUM THEY HAVE NO TATTOOS OR BODY PIERCING. BUT I NEVER WOULD FIND HER. I CAN REALLY IDENTIFY WITH LUKE AND WISH IT WAS ME AND I COULD GO BACK TO 1969 WHEN I WAS HIS AGE.TOO BAD IT IS FICTION.

I can't believe it's FOUR years since I first wrote a very complimentary comment about this your first story.... I read it again,  having just enjoyed your recent offering - and I love that equally!   So nice,  as others of your readers say,  to read something without threats,  fear,  bondage and hurtful things....  I love the way that you describe hair and beauty treatments in such detail.....  you must have enjoyed them to write with such feeling.   Greta work..... LOL WbG xxx

The author writes:

>>I like to read about normal people who have made the transition work for them. And I like to read nice stories too, especially the kind where caring women help young boys become the girls they want to be." he said with a broad smile. "I think the last week in my life would make a good story!"

And so it has: love, support, acceptance, and clarity; instead of coercion, manipulation, seduction, humiliation, hate, bigotry, destruction, and soul murder. What a gift. Stories like this are exceedingly rare in the genre, and all the more precious for that fact. It made me cry, for all of the beauty it contains, and for all of the hurt and pain that this life is not mine. Even the understated British turns of phrase give it that much more flavour and charm, and fit the story of a well-mannered boy in transition perfectly. Yes, I do believe that this one is a keeper.

Hi;
  I stumbled into your website on another entrance. I saw the computer only had a few minutes left,so I wrote down the site.
I read a few of the short stories,and I really liked them.
It reminded me when I was younger,and when I use to watch
twilight zone,and wish upon a star. The only problem was,my
wish never came true. Something I am working on.
Anyway,your stories feed a very special place in my soul.
  I read the stories about a banker,an arcade game,summer
camp,a little long,but,I love the way it ended. Your stories
give me happyness,and really help me fantasize. I will be
checking your site out in the future. Thank you so much
Helen

What a sweet and lovely story!  And it just goes to show that one does not have to have lots of conflict, violence, and bad things happening to give a story excitement or tensions or all the other things that make one want to read on.  Well done.  Well written it was too.

I loved your story. It was truly sweet and gentle, yet gave me, the reader, the feeling I was being allowed to be present with everything that was happening to Lucy. It is fun and special to be able to read a story that doesn't have bondage and all that unnecessary stuff in it. I hope that you will continue with Lucy's new life so all of us who have read about her can see how her journey proceeds. Thanks again, Hugs to you, Janice

I have just finished reading all three parts of this wonderful story. As a young boy I would spend every Saturday searching the streets of the city I lived in for salons that would have a window I could peer into, especially at the rear of the salon where the shampooing would normally take place. I was Luke in your story in that sense. The rest of the story is the fantasy/ real story I would have loved to have come true but never did. I loved your story sooo much, I actually cried a couple of times just as Luke's mother did. Thank you very, very much for telling this story that hit so close to home for me.

I really enjoyed this stoey , it's soft and gentle and caring.
Really lovely,
thankyou.

part 03  Too fast, I like slow femination.  You are going to fast.  Loved this story, but after this there will be no more fun.

I have read both parts one and two and even though they are rated for a younger group or rather generation I have thouroughly enjoined the first two parts of the story!  I find myself wishing that I was "Luke" instead of being the reader!  Oh, the joys of youth, especially the lucky ones!

CONGRATULATIONS Girlscot!!  What a wonderful, sweet story.  I love the detailed salon scenes.  I just wish every budding TS could have the loving support Lucy has.  I do hope you will continue with this.  Any chance of illustrations?

Hi Girlscot  :)

It is a very delightful story.
Hugs, Fran

This is one of most lovely sweet and feminine storys I have read.My dear its true no matter how hard it is there is nothing better than come out and living as the woman you are inside.More please

Parts 2 & 3 are fabulous additions to this serial, every bit as sweet and satisfying as the first.  You do need to sort out the Catherine/Christine situation with a global search-and-replace, but other than that, it's a complete joy!

A beautiful story.  I am already waiting for second installment.  You will soon equal Georgina.

Good story, I enjoyed.

Well written and can actually become a serial story.  You have done well with keeping the interest peaked. Keep up the writing and add some more chapters to the story.

Lucky girl.My mum and dad loved me but could never take on that I was TS.Brill story

Dearest Girlscot,

What a wonderful story and one the reader can feel as they read it. Your writing could use just a touch of proofing and I do have a suggestion or two.

Email me if you think I might be able to help or that you want to know my suggestions.

The category "sweet and sentimental" couldn't have a sweeter example.  I'm melting.

This story is SO AMAZING - so lifelike,  so possible,  so true to my own discovery, that I loved hair and make-up, at the age of 13-14.... but I never had the joy of disclosing that fact to my parents ... and having them respond so wonderfully.  I could SO imagine how my own life would have been different,  if only I'd left some hairstyling magazines out on show!  I had them.  I hid them TOO well!  I loved the setting pictures.  

The roller set was described so perfectly,  even to the moment he cums,  as I would have done (and di in a salon once).  I went to salons many times and had my hair set - on some pretext when boofing an appointment.   Later in life, I still have my hair done in the same salon that my wife uses.  I did clour my own hair in those early days..... couldn't do so now!

I've been writing my own story - as a serial,  fantasy all of it... and I didn't capture the magic of the roller setting the way you have done.  Well done.  Please, please read my own tale - An Apprentice Needs Help,  and let me know what I can do to improve it!

please, please WRITE A SEQUEL to thie SUPERB story!


Love & Hugzz

Dear Girlscot:
This was quite a lovely piece.  Reading it, I felt as nervous and excited as Lucy did.  While I myself have never considered a change of sex (my gender is already half-and-half), Lucy's love of hair styling techniques is exactly the same as mine. I was right there in the chair with her as Christine rolled her up.  Well done.

Oh, and one little nitpick: In four or five places, "Christine" somehow got morphed into "Catherine."  No worries.
