'"I was born a boy. And I went from blue to pink without which my life would have been of no interest. When I started talking about my discomfort, I was called crazy. Are we crazy when we are born different?"
Here is a poignant testimony on a subject still taboo, transsexuality. Alexandra Cerdan gives us, without false modesty, and sometimes crudely, her astonishing story, that of a woman locked in a boy's body. So many obstacles to revealing oneself and to others! How can this be achieved when we have to deal with discrimination, bullying, and misunderstanding on a daily basis? How to love each other when since childhood we do not know who we are? How can we move away from the sacrosanct norm of Adam and Eve?
Without complacency for herself, she recounts her operation, her second birth, and her conversion to Islam, which helped her in her quest for herself. A biography that goes beyond clichés and allows us to understand this painfully atypical journey. But it is also, above all, a great message of hope. Alexandra Cerdan is, among others, a songwriter and actress. She is also passionate about audiovisual creations in 3D. She devoted three years of her life to the development of this confessional book.'
