This is a very inspirational life story that shows there is always hope and that, no matter how far you've gone on the wrong path, it's never too late to turn back. Anyone considering sex reassignment surgery should read this book and also Heyer's other books. It will open your eyes and hopefully stop you from doing some of the mistakes i did.

All I can say is WOW. Walt Heyer paints a picture of his life with all its twists and turns with honesty and openness. "Perseverance" hardly begins to describe it. Is there a word that tells of more determination? And what a beautiful ending! I won't spoil it for you, read to the end and enjoy the tears of joy at the rewards of hanging in there.

Oh Yeah - See all my reviews

This review is from: Trading My Sorrows (Paperback)

Wow, you will be captivated and surprised by how deep and inspiring this personal biography/story is! Someone sharing a story that does not go with the grain, a voice of someone sharing their experience of brokeness and then freedom. I could not put it down, few people are this honest about the kind of personal struggles and vitories that the author has been through. I wish the majority of people I work with and know could hear this story (even a short version of it) because this is an area where real dialogue is needed. The story goes far beyond the facade offered in many movies, or sitcoms and gets to the real life of a person wrestling with the very core of their identity, survivial, and the amazing love and grace they find on the other end.

Once again, I read it in one round-trip plane flight, hard to put down!
