"The true story of a rural nurse's journey with her remarkable patient; a blind, terminally-ill transgender woman who teaches her much about compassion, understanding, and unconditional acceptance. This is not just a story for all who seek to understand the phenomenon of transgender. It's a memoir of a truly unique experience with lessons for all of us."
I liked the review by Pat Whalen: "This is a lovingly written book that tells the story of the experience that Alexander, an RN, had when she was assigned to work with a male-to-female transgendered patient named Mischelle Woodring who was in the end stages of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Alexander had never known a transgendered person before and, while her initial reaction was that it was something weird that she wanted nothing to do with, she found herself feeling curious and interested in learning more.
"If you have the courage to ask, I have the courage to answer," Mischelle told her in response to her questions about what it was like to be transgendered. This marked the beginning of a journey of self-discovery for Alexander and a deep and meaningful bond between her and Mischelle. Ultimately, Alexander became an advocate for the trans community and a Life Coach who today guides others on their own journeys."
