"This book is a chronicle of my life and transition from male to female. I wrote it because I have learned that when one has been blessed and fortunate to experience life in a grand scale, one has to share it. Not only have I experienced life on a grand scale, but I have experienced it from both sides. Let me explain. I have been blessed to live my life in both genders.
As the title of this book suggests, this book is about my transgender journey to find my true self. Let it be known from the start, I do not, in any way, feel my life in the male gender was without value. Everything we experience in life is a teaching tool. And now that I have found my true self, I am able to see life through unique lenses. In fact, now I don’t just see life through my eyes. Now I see life with all my senses and that makes life worth so much more.
I have also been encouraged by many friends to write down my journey as it includes so many unique experiences. They feel that the lessons I learned can be encouraging and helpful to someone else who is struggling with similar issues about their gender identity."
In 2014, I interviewed Dawn and asked her about the book: "I have always, even in my dark days, been searching for an understanding from God of why I, from an early age, felt like a girl/woman. When I finally embraced my true self and completed my transition to a woman, God came to me, through the Holy Spirit, in a dream and told me to write a book about my journey to help others who have been rejected by mainline churches because they are transgender. He wanted me to tell them He loved them.
He also told me the title to use. When God tells you to do something, you do it. As proof of His leading, it took me a year to write it and six months to get it published - pretty quick by most standards for publishing."
