As one of the contributors to this book I found the stories heart warming and enlightening. Not all of us succeed in every endeavor of our lives, but the challenge to each of us is the quality of our journey! The journeys discussed here will make you cry, laugh and appreciate your own chosen path through this life. This is a must read for anyone wanting to understand the gender diversity of those living in and around you.

A tidy collection of memoir essays, pitched at a medium tempo and down home. Alas, not a whole lot of variety here; most of these voices are early-boomer MtF CDs and TSs, with emphasis on Tri-Ess. The (FtM and F) exceptions are the coolest - Bet Power's "My Wonderful Askewness" is 1st-rate translit and Helen Boyd ("The Wife") contributes a nice outline of her experiences. I did love a few details here and there - dropping acid and noting longhair on (trans)hippies - which jazzed me ... but ... mainly ... the same old stuff, most fitting for a mainstream (M CD) audience. Oh, yeh, a few typos throughout, too.

As I am one of the Authors of a story contained in this book I find the editing, production ,front cover and basic issues discussed are very good. All stories are relevant and provide a good discussion of the subject Matter.
