I read this years ago and realize I didn't write a review. I'd like to thank the author for sharing her story. It was enlightening to have insight into the life of someone who is transgender.

This is an excellent memoir on a timely topic. Boylan addresses the psychological, emotional, physical, familial, and practical aspects of transitioning genders. And she does it with humor, subtlety, and grace.

I recommend this book to anyone interested in one person's story about transgender life.

I was lucky enough to meet Jennifer the day I bought this book, and she's as witty as her writing is. Beautiful book, beautiful story.
