Found In Transition: Stories of Journeys to Authenticity is a labor of love and a testament to the resilience of the transgender community. As a 72-year-old transgender woman, I have spent more than three decades as a reporter, editor, and college professor, and have dedicated much of my life to advocacy and education. My experiences, both personal and professional, have shown me the power of storytelling to foster understanding and compassion. This collection of twelve evocative stories captures the challenges, triumphs, heartbreaks, and moments of courage that define the journey to authenticity. Each narrative is rooted in the real-life struggles and joys faced by transgender individuals, and it is my hope that these stories will inspire others to share their own journeys, encourage allies to deepen their understanding, and offer meaningful insight to anyone curious about the transition process.

I have secured a publishing contract with Austin Macaulay Publishing, and I am responsible for a significant portion of the publishing costs. The first payment is due in just 12 days, making your support especially urgent. Every contribution will go directly toward bringing this book to life, helping to cover publishing expenses and ensuring these important stories reach as many people as possible. This book represents my heart and soul, and it is my way of bringing understanding and love to a community that is too often misunderstood or targeted. By supporting this fundraiser, you are helping to amplify voices that need to be heard and fostering a more compassionate world for all.
