Author Description

This extraordinary memoir reveals a life spent exploring what it means to be male and female, questioning the rules and rejecting the idea that gender is limited to a single point of description. Challenging, heartbreaking, deeply reflective, and ultimately triumphant, this is the journey of one transgender individual who chose to embrace her womanhood without rejecting his manhood: Meredith/Derek, learning to be authentic and complete, discovering a dual-gender existence for which the rules haven't been written.
