"It’s hard to live authentically when you’re trying to meet the expectations of everyone around you and denying the inner voices that know your truth. Grace Anne Stevens spent over sixty years hiding and denying her inner truth. In No! Maybe? Yes! Living My Truth, she shares not only her voice but many of her internal voices, as she journeyed from denying, to questioning, and finally accepting her truth, which led to transitioning her gender at the age of sixty-four.
More than just a transgender memoir, this book is about relationships, both internal and external, about change and authenticity, and is uniquely informational, inspirational, and transformational to all who may question their own journey."
In 2015, I talked to Grace and this is what she told me about the book: "This book was more an experience of being “channeled” as it seemed to be written by forces inside of me. I started with a small blog – which became the first chapter – First Journey, and a friend asked/demanded to hear more. I explain this in the acknowledgments of the book.
People have said that this book is a combination of memoirs and self-help books.
The question that I answered, and also ask of everyone is “Whose Life are you Living?”.
I transitioned at age 64. The anxiety leading up to it was perhaps greater than the actual event of a transition. I was prepared to lose everything and everyone in my life but was lucky enough that I have lost no one."
