A random collection of over 1910 books and audiobooks authored by or about my transgender, intersex sisters, and gender-nonconforming persons all over the world. I read some of them, and I was inspired by some of them. I met some of the authors and heroines, some of them are my best friends, and I had the pleasure and honor of interviewing some of them. If you know of any transgender biography that I have not covered yet, please let me know.

Get to know the story of Fernanda Resteles narrated by herself, in the 57 chapters of this book.

In these pages you will understand what the struggle of a transsexual woman is like when she is abandoned by those who should protect her the most: her family.
Fernanda tells her entire trajectory since she was 13 years old, when she had to leave home so as not to suffer more mistreatment simply because she assumed her transsexual condition. She entered prostitution so as not to die of hunger, survived on the streets, was almost murdered several times, took refuge in drugs, got good friends, but also enemies and had to flee Rio de Janeiro because of a crime she did not commit.

"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."
