"When Diane’s lover and friend, Jack, comes out seven years into their relationship expressing his well-kept secret desire to transition from male to female, Diane’s world turns upside down. With little information to help answer the question ‘do I stay or do I go’, she searches for direction on her own. 

Navigating the murky waters of the unknown that accompany the challenges of Jack’s changing persona, guided by love, loyalty, and a willingness to sacrifice, Diane shares her observations and reactions. In this true story, she explores the underground world of BDSM, bondage/submission and sadomasochism, as well as, provides an intimate view into gay and lesbian lifestyles in her attempt to gauge what impact Jack’s changes might have to their relationship and to her own authentic self."

"Diane's loyalty across her lover's transition from man to woman, is also her pain.Watching Jack change from male to female is a massive collision of soul and identity. Diane struggles to salvage a sense of normalcy in their relationship. Her own journey, however, takes unexpected turns when she ventures into formerly forbidden territory. This is a heart-rending, hard-to-put-down read about one of the most complex issues of our time." - Lynne Ashdown, Author of One American Woman Fifty Italian Men: A Journey of Cycling, Love and Will

"Riveting! Finding information as to the WHY in transgenderism has only recently begun. This is why Diana Kelly's book is a breath of fresh air! The story is told with tact, dignity and above class as she explores several dark fronts and areas which are heard about and never treated fairly. The conversation with Tara had me spellbound. Diane pioneers the mystery of transgenderism with a force I'm in awe of . . . " - Ellen Shaver, Art Forms Design, North Chesterfield, VA"
