Pinning a purple flower into her bleach blonde hair, pretty Ava admired herself in the mirror. She had every reason to be proud. In the space of a year, she had lost an incredible 17 stone.

Born a boy named William, it was the first time she had ever dressed as a girl – and everything fell into place.
