Faking It: My Life in Transition (NZ Author/Topic) (Large Print)

Description

Kyle Mewburn grew up in the sunburnt, unsophisticated Brisbane suburbs of the 1960s and 70s in a household with little love and no books, with a lifelong feeling of being somehow wrong - like strawberry jam in a spinach can. In this book, Kyle describes this early life and her journey to becoming her own person - a celebrated childrens book author, a husband and, finally, a woman. This is a heartbreaking, often hilarious, candid true story about what it means to hide from yourself, your partner and the world, and then to attain the freedom and acceptance of being yourself. A story with the bittersweet beauty relevant for anyone wanting to know and understand the trans experience - or anyone wanting to discover who they are and what they are meant to be.
