" A] sharply written debut...A coming-of-age tale for our time." --Seattle Times
At birth, Peter Huang is given the Chinese name Juan Chaun, "powerful king." To his parents, newly settled in small-town Ontario, he is the exalted only son in a sea of daughters, the one who will finally fulfill his immigrant father's dreams of Western masculinity. Peter and his sisters grow up in an airless house of order and obligation, though secrets and half-truths simmer beneath the surface. At the first opportunity, each of the girls lights out on her own. But for Peter, escape is not as simple as fleeing his parents' home. Though his father crowned him "powerful king," Peter knows otherwise. He knows he is really a girl. With the help of his far-flung sisters and the sympathetic souls he finds along the way, Peter inches ever closer to his own life, his own skin, in this darkly funny, emotionally acute, stunningly powerful debut.

"Sensitively wrought . . . For Today I Am a Boy is as much about the construction of self as the consequences of its unwitting destruction--and what happens when its acceptance seems as foreign as another country." --New York Times Book Review

"Subtle and controlled, with flashes of humor and warmth." --Slate

"Keeps you reading. Told in snatches of memory that hurt so much they have the ring of truth." --Bust magazine

THE BEST. Seriously.
Size: 36E, Color: White
The world is upside down. How can a twenty dollar bra outperform my hundred dollar bras??? I don't know but here we are. I am 49, a 34F/36e, 5'1". Finding a great bra is challenging to say the least. This bra is it, y'all. I bought it in a different color a couple of weeks ago. I wore it three times in a row to make sure it wouldn't bag out, lose its support. I washed it, not in a lingerie bag, on warm, dried it on high, to make sure it would hold up to that. It passed both tests with flying colors. It is so comfortable. It feels wireless! It is very flattering, has great under-arm-flub-smoothing and support. The back is substantial and smoothing but without being bulky or restrictive. The straps are wide, but not too wide, and totally stay put all day. I bought the other three colors and the sizing is seamless across colors. This is a winner, folks!!!

Surprisingly Comfortable
Size: 36D, Color: Beige
I'm very surprised by the comfort of this bra. I've worn wireless padded/lined bras for as long as I can remember so this is quite a change from my norm. I am only 5' tall so having larger breasts tend to make me look top heavy. The minimizing effect makes my outfits look so much better and slims me down a bit. I am unsure of the sizing though. I purchased my normal size in a 36D but the top of the cups have some wrinkling as if I'm not quite filling the cup. It does smooth out a bit after I've been wearing it for a while. The lift is nice but not extreme. It more puts the girls where they were about 20 years ago but it doesn't do much for shaping. Overall it's a nice bra and I'd likely purchase again if I could just get the sizing right.

DELIMIRA Women's Inbarely Lift Full Coverage Bra
Size: 48D, Color: Black
I have had this bra now for 4 months. It is VERY comfortable. However, after only 4 months of use, the cup wire is sticking out of the outer sides. It hurts when it pokes me and digs into my skin. If the wire wouldn't have stuck out, it would have been PERFECT. I LOVED this bra. It's a real shame!

They should call it The Unicorn Bra
Size: 42F, Color: White
What kind of sorcery is this?! I am 58 and have had huge boobs my entire life. I've spent thousands of dollars on bras over the years and have never been 100% happy with one of them. Until now. My daughter recently lost a ton of weight and was looking for "in between" bras until she hits her goal. She didn't want to spend a lot each time she had to replace one so she researched and found Delmira. She immediately called to tell me she found a Unicorn and of course, I had to try it. I ordered 4 more in different colors and styles and let me tell you...all of them are amazing. The support, comfort, style...simply amazing!!
