The book is the story of a gender transition. In vivid images, photographer Eva Lie depicts her friend's arduous path from being Jan to becoming Janna. Identity, the struggle to be yourself and the longing for love are topics highlighted in the book.
The first photos in the book were taken in the mid-1990s when Eva and Jan lived next door in Stockholm. A strong friendship grew that made it possible for Eva Lie to follow her friend several years later in the long and complicated process of correcting her gender.
Uncensored and naked, we get to take part in a story that is ultimately about the struggle to be yourself. The pictures in the book were taken between 1998 and 2017. The book also contains texts by Eva Lie, which are mostly based on conversations with Janna and her own diary entries.
