Alana Sholar was born in Kentucky in the 1960's and assigned the gender of male at birth. Yet, she knew she was a girl. But, it wasn't until she reached her mid-30's she learned why she felt the way she did when she learned there were others like her ... transgender persons.
Determined to hide inner feelings while unaware there were others who faced the same struggles, Sholar is a fast driving, hard drinking, pill popping guitar player with a sex addiction that leads to multiple partner encounters and the consequences.

In the end, "Hung in the Middle" is a love story. It is one of those familiar - yet always irresistible - stories about falling in love with someone inaccessible but never giving up. And, it's about learning to love yourself ... just the way you are. Alana continues to live in the same small KY town where she grew up as a male.
