It took guts to include the diverse characters into this story knowing all the hate people have around such topics today.
I felt the way Morin wrote the transgender character in Mission 7 was very well done. It was authentic and not exploitive. The way Brad responded to this friend was equally impressive and authentic.
Then in Mission 8 the way Brad responded to his brother wanting to join ballet was also equally impressive and heartfelt.
Thank you Morin and please keep writing these sorts of stories, don’t let the hate-fueled readers sway you away from your creative inclusion,
