Full title: "Some Days Are Diamonds: The Trans. Journey of Nashville Songwriter Dick Feller" by Deena Rose
The book is "the autobiography of a successful creative male artist who was also a closeted transgender woman.
Deena Kaye Rose recalls her life in this honest memoir that is quirky, country, and uplifting. From the thoughts of suicide into the chances of fate, Deena recounts her torment and triumphs as a male to female transgender woman."
I talked to Deena in 2016 and this is what she told me about the book: "When I met Kristin Beck, she told me there was no reason for me to allude to my old dead name; that I could move to Seattle, transition, change all of my gender markers and no one need ever know. I said, “Yes, Kristin, but I would know. And it would be unfair to my TransSisters if I were to choose living in stealth myself while others like Kristin Beck are putting themselves and their lives on the line in order to achieve gender equality for all.”
