While over all the book was well written and highly interesting, I would have liked to have heard more from her family. I was left with the feeling that the concerns of others and how they felt were not really of importance. Realizing that the whole issue was about her, there were too many people affected by this change and I felt the author didn't delve enough into those issues. Quit frankly I found it fairly superficial, I never felt the anguish that the whole situation had to have created. I was left feeling that the most important issue was her relationship with Richard Russo and that was more a "guess who I know."

I really enjoyed this book and how it with its positive energy it takes you through the painful experience of transexuality.
This is a book of hope. It is somebodies actual life being told. You are left feeling you know the author, that you are old friends. It left me feeling good about life. Jenny has had to do so much to get where she is and yet she still sees the world with a positive outlook.
Truely inspiring.

James/Jennifer begins telling the story in one role and finishes in quite another. He has amanged to walk the tight rope of maintaining her family and career while changing both his/her basic identity and physical ability. It is truly an insiders view of the metamorphesis of changing genders. While the person living in the body may not change, the perception of that person changes with the physical changes;how a person reacts to that change of perception can only be told be somebodywho has lived it. While it has taken an enormous amount of courage to stand front and centre and tell this story, it may have required more to have maintained the status quo. While he has gone no where, everyone who matters to her has had to adapt to an enormous change; that is what this story is really about.
