In 2015, I interviewed Lucia and this is what she told me about the book: "When I first started writing my autobiography, I had no intention to even publish my book publicly, but it was clear that I would tell my life story. The effort proved to be therapeutic for me. At the time, my intent was to inform my immediate family, colleagues, and friends about my journey and my decision for the need to transition from a male to a female. As I started telling my story, it became apparent that I had a message for the world as well. I thought that it might be of interest for the general public to hear my message.
I also thought it useful to provide supporting information for transgender individuals.
Even though the book focused primarily on the topic and life of a transgender individual, I attempted to tell a story that inspired others for taking on the journey of self-discovery, self-improvement, self-love, and a life of authentic self own. A meaningful journey that is well worth the effort, no matter what challenge needs to be overcome, is a gift for us all.
After releasing the first edition of my book back in December 2014, I discovered that I had the interest to bridge the gap between Transgender individuals and the social stigma imposed by the general population upon transgender individuals. By stepping into their world (general population), leveling and explaining objectively from the viewpoint of the public the reason for such a journey.
Also, I thought I could attempt to tell a story that could capture the general interest of people. As such, the final version of my book was born and the second edition was released last September 2015."
