Don't hate Nicholas. Hate destroys everything. Don't let it destroy you...<br><br>For decades ultra-liberal Windfield College has been a thorn in the side of Northern Virginia's hidebound elite. When a teaching position unexpectedly becomes available the school hires a former male graduate - now a transsexual woman named Nickie Farrell - as an assistant professor of English. Hoping to find peace Nickie keeps her secret under wraps until ambitious lesbian student reporter Cinda Vanderhart outs her. And Cinda has noticed something else: both Nickie and a young townie waiter named Collie Skinner have a genetic quirk which causes their eyes to be different colors. Convinced that the similarity is no coincidence Cinda begins an investigation to discover the connection between them. <br><br>Meanwhile in a death-bed confession as she succumbs to years of brutality at the hands of her disgraced cop husband Collie's mother Luanne reveals that his birth resulted from an illicit affair she had with a long-vanished Windfield college senior named Nick Farrington. Shattered by his mother's death Collie turns for comfort to Robin Thompson a gentle-hearted Christian co-worker at the upper-crust Foxton Arms restaurant. As Nickie is stalked by a pair of homicidal sociopaths Robin finds herself entangled not only in Cinda's investigative machinations but also a murderous plot by former U.S Ambassador and tycoon Eamon Douglass to eradicate the hated college with a suicide detonation of a Cesium 137 dirty bomb. Lives and secrets hang in the balance until everything comes to a head on the morning of Windfield's annual spring picnic: April Fools Day.<br><br>Filled with richly-drawn characters and building to a stunning climax SHE'S MY DAD is a story about the destructiveness of hate the power of love and the redemptive triumph of good over evil. <br><br>Like her title character Nickie Farrell Iolanthe Woulff is a transsexual woman. A fifty-nine-year-old Princeton-educated English major she lives in Palm Springs CA where for several years she wrote a column in a local magazine about the challenges of gender transition. As the eldest child of author Herman Wouk storytelling has always been dear to Ms. Woulff's heart. Her hope is that besides providing a suspenseful read SHE'S MY DAD will help to dispel some of the widespread misconceptions about transsexual people.
