    A transgender medieval adventure: Abandoned while disguised as a boy, Hildegund's journey home will lead to unexpected destinations.
        
        Twice Featured:
        - Wattpad Editor's Choice February - March 2020
        - Official #Wattpride Reading List, June 2020
        ---------
        
        When a journey to the Holy Land during the Crusades requires Hildegund, a gender nonconforming teen, to dress as a man, Hildegund quickly embraces her new male identity as Joseph. But, when bandits kill his father and separate him from his companions, Joseph finds himself alone in a new land with a new identity and begins to ask the question: how can wearing male clothes be a disguise when it feels so authentic?
        
        Based on a true story, JOURNEY TO JOSEPH is the story of a journey across continents and across genders: an exploration of discovering who really you are and learning to stand on your own, all set against the backdrop of 12th century Europe.
