Sheridanlife RadioMarilyn - Fall StoriesFor many of us Halloween is the best day of the year. We love watching scary movies, bingeing candy, and dressing up to go to costume parties with friends. However, for Marilyn Moore, a closeted transgender girl in a small town, it is a day of freedom. It is a day when she doesn't dress up as someone else but rather embraces her true self.
