Nearing the age of forty, with an entire life already lived as a woman, Miles Borrero comes face to face with his father’s impending death. Suddenly realizing he has been stalling his transition for fear of losing his family’s love, this moment catalyzes Miles’s determination to be known as his father’s son. In Beautiful Monster, Miles chronicles his unusual childhood, by turns riveting and hilarious, in ’80s and ’90s Colombia during the Pablo Escobar years, as well as his move to Salt Lake City to pursue acting and the winding trajectory that eventually lands him in New York City.

Beautiful, heartfelt, honest and healing.
Revisado: 11-15-23
I first read Beautiful Monster and was completely moved by Borrero's honesty and heart. I felt his growth and pain every step of the way. Then, I listened to it and I was blown away by the beauty of his narration, his inclusion of chants and songs, and accents, quirkiness, and humor. Borrero brings his book to life via the audio version, and, in my humble opinion, it is its own masterpiece. I believe this book has the power to help us connect to a soul's journey that at times feels out of reach, and is often misunderstood. Love leads this story of growth and healing and self-acceptance.
