Original title: "AINDA HÁ UMA CHANCE: Relatos de uma mulher transexuall" (THERE'S STILL A CHANCE: Reports of a transgender woman) by Fernanda Resteles.
"Discover the story of Fernanda Resteles narrated by herself in the 57 chapters of this book. She does not spare the reader knowing every detail of her life, both on the streets and in the privacy of her home. In these pages you will understand how a transsexual woman struggles when she is abandoned by those who should protect her the most: her family.
Fernanda recounts her entire trajectory since the age of 13, when she had to leave home to avoid suffering more abuse simply because she assumed her transsexual condition. She entered prostitution to not die of hunger, survived on the streets, was almost murdered several times, took refuge in drugs, made good friends but also enemies and had to flee Rio de Janeiro because of a crime she did not commit. The author constructed her narrative in such a way that not only the dramatic parts of her life were visualized, but also the funny and amusing ones. The book is easy to read and fluid and is a great example that the battles of this life can be won by people of determination, strength, and faith."
