Stephanie Jones - Into The Flames: A Life In Transition

2017, English, Stephanie Jones,

"What would drive a 49-year-old fire officer to make a decision that would lead to him losing his marriage, children, career, and everything he’s ever worked for? 

The answer is a desire to live a different life, a life that had been denied him and to try to find the true happiness that had eluded him for so long. It is this overpowering need to live an authentic life that lies at the core of this book and it covers various aspects of the transition process from male to female.

It spans an entire lifetime - from the earliest attempts of a child to understand why, to the confused adolescent years, then on to desperate middle age, and finally through to the present day.

It describes the impact of gender dysphoria on a life and the subsequent desperate and futile struggle against a transitional tide that culminated in painful realisation in the April of 2015."
