Daniella was from Fresno. Her boyfriend was a gangster wannabe who managed a Burger King. He’d get drunk or high and beat her. He’d take whatever money she had and spend it on drugs, so she hadn’t been able to afford her hormones.
Fresno did not sound like a great place to be transgendered.
Hollywood is everyone’s land of dreams, and Daniella came down to Hollywood with dreams of becoming a model or an actress. If she could only get that going, maybe she could ditch her Burger-King boyfriend, bust loose from Fresno, afford hormones, and live a life free from abuse.
