About this listen
'Thoughtful, beautiful, incredibly necessary. People need to read this book, especially if they feel a resistance to. I wish everyone would.' Sofie Hagen
‘Uncompromising, anguished, combative: culture wars have victims, and this is an agonising story told with honesty and passion.’ Richard Beard
'An intimate, beautifully told memoir' Elinor Cleghorn
When my third child was born, I was told I had a boy. The baby was given a boy’s name and raised in that gender. But when she died, twenty years later, she died as my daughter, and will forever be remembered that way.
Alice Litman died by suicide in May 2022, aged just twenty years old, having already waited almost three years for her first appointment at a gender identity clinic.
In stunningly beautiful prose, Caroline Litman captures the realities of an often-messy journey navigating both her daughter’s transition and the days, weeks and months after Alice’s death.
Searing, urgent and utterly unique, Her Name is Alice is the raw, human story of a mother’s love and grief for her child – and of a young trans woman who is impossible to forget and who must be remembered.

Everyone should read this book
I loved this book. It is so well written and so brutally honest. I think if everyone read this book and learnt to respect everyone for their differences then the world would be a much better place. It also tackles the inequalities of our healthcare system and how the transgender community are left to wait far too long with little support to receive the treatment they deserve. Thought the author was so brave to read the book herself and felt it made the narrative even stronger.
