i have to admit i am a sucker for a good memoir. and this is one of the best i have read recently. i was drawn in to jennys pain and honesty. her journey to self awareness is inspiring. i am amazed by all the loving and accepting people jenny was fortunate enough to have in her life. this book opened a new world to me- one that i found very interesting.

Boylan is an engaging writer, with a great sense of humor and a wonderfully supporting group of friends and family. She tells the story of her journey from masculinity to femininity in a compelling fashion. I loved this book!

Life of a transgendered person, told in the first-person. Entertaining and also very enlightening. I have a much better understanding of what someone goes through, when in this situation.
