"On a blazing summer day in Missouri, 1956, eight-year-old Richard discovers a sparkling rock on the railroad tracks near his home - and is fascinated. In that same year, he makes another unexpected discovery - an aching, forbidden desire to be a girl. A lifetime of secrecy follows until, at the edge of a cliff in remote southern Idaho, he faces a decision - to die as a man or live as a woman.
Transformations is more than a memoir of transgenderism. It reflects important crossroads we all encounter in our lives - times of self-doubt and failure, other moments of great success and joy. It is a journey all of us share, one leading to that profound question we, at some point in our lives, must ask ourselves: Who am I?"
Her message in both books is this: Despite the difficulties, the people who really love you will stand by you and love you even more when you can be your authentic self. She wants you to know it is worth it, and it does get better. Erika lives with her dog Finn (who is a Good Boy) in Bellingham, Washington. She continues to travel to geologically interesting places around the world and loves expounding on the wonders of geology to anyone who will listen."
