How to NOT Know You’re TRANS (2020 North Street Book Prize Finalist): A Memoir of the Unknown Trans Person and How A Marriage Survived and Thrives Through It Feb 13, 2020

by Bethany A Beeler

( 12 )

$4.49

2020 North Street Book Prize Finalist

"In 2018, I didn’t merely come out MtF transgender, I discovered I was trans in the first place—as much news to me as it became to the world. On December 31, 2017, to quote the movie, Hot Fuzz, I had 'a great big bushy beard.' A year later, I was growing breasts! Yes, real breasts, as I hit my true puberty."

What's it like to be a trans woman? Even crazier, what's it like to NOT KNOW you're trans for your first 50+ years? It's a rollercoaster of joy, heartbreaking sadness, difficult trials and transformations, and tons of comic relief—like any life … but with the twist of coming of age in a world that still seems not ready for trans folk to hit prime time. Bethany's memoir of how she and her marriage have survived and THRIVE is what it means to be human.

$2.99

FROM THE BOOK: “If what Diana suspected were true, she had to get back to the manse before that bastard had booby trapped the entire joint with poison and whatever other nightmares he could think of. Clay was insane or evil enough to have followed her to Pennsylvania and had holed up somewhere in the area in the attempt to make her life living hell, as he'd done when they were married. Would she never stop paying for her mistakes?”

Diana Atestesso has lost her daughter, her livelihood, and her peace of mind to her abusive ex-husband, Clay. Now she returns to the old Victorian mansion in the mountains where she was raised through a traumatic childhood, only to find that her ex is stalking her still. Now is the time to make a final stand. Now is the time Diana calls upon the Fire Golem.
