I could write a book and not just a review.

An interesting read about the journey of a late-in-life M-F transgender. It is told with honesty and integrity. I got bogged down by the employment history, which did not seem to have much to do with her transition. I would have liked to have heard about her experiences as a trans person in the corporate world. Perhaps that will be the next book?
