"The book is an intimate, funny, excruciatingly honest account of a male-to-female transsexual who considers herself living proof that God does have a sense of humor - and a wicked one at that. It is rich with stories and infused with insights from a thoughtful person with an uncommon perspective."
In 2017, I interviewed Meredith and this is what she told me about the book: "I had written a novel, a children’s book, and a screenplay with no success getting any of them published. My friends kept encouraging me to write a memoir, but I resisted. Writing lies was fun; the truth hurt. Finally, in hopes I could find an agent and a publisher for a memoir, I began. As I suspected, it was painful, brutally so at times, but it also helped me realize I had a story worth telling and a voice worth hearing.
Different people will take different things away from my story.
The truth is we’re all – cisgender and trans – struggling to find, embrace and express our true selves. It’s not about “coming out.” It’s about living our truths. It’s about becoming the most authentic version of me I can be. That’s the feminine Hero’s Journey, and it’s not easy for anyone.
