Christine Beatty's autobiography chronicles her surprising evolution as a transsexual woman, her recovery from a life of addiction and prostitution, and her biggest and most impossible seeming dreams coming true. With this memoir she opens a window into a world most people never see and seldom lets go of those who venture in too far. Aside from ascending in her career against all odds, she is a pioneering rock musician, a controversial journalist and a survivor of the worst pandemic of the 1980s. Told with the unflinching honesty of someone with nothing left to hide, the humor of a survivor who discovers silver linings in darkest clouds and the spirit of a rebel who refuses to be beaten down, Beatty's is a tale of sublime pathos and the triumph of the human spirit.
