A journey into Juliet Jacques's tale of gender transition, her story takes on aspects both personal and political in nature, describing what it means to become herself in a world where transgender identity can be misunderstood (and sometimes willfully so). Honest with a hint of humor, her memoir unassumingly reconstructs "what it means to be alive."(This book may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.)
